The Federal Bureau of Prisons has changed how Federal Prison Inmates are incarcerated.

(PRWEB) September 18, 2006 -- On September 12, 2006 the Federal Bureau of Prisons made major revisions to their core Program Statement 5100 - Inmate Security Designation and Custody Classification Manual. The newest version is 5100.08.
Major changes to this core program statement include:
1. The creation of the DSCC- Designation and Sentence Computation Center in Grand Prairie, Texas. All inmates will now be designated by BOP Staff at this location. The DSCC was developed to provide consistency in the designation/redesignation process.
2. Additional changes such as Criminal History Score, Inmate Age, Education Level, Drug/Alcohol Abuse, Living Skills, Program Participation have replaced previous scoring categories such as, Type Of Prior Commitment, Mental/Psychological Stability, Responsibility Demonstrated, and Release On Own Recognizance. The new additional categories should improve the designation and custody classification process.
3. Further clarification of scoring has been provided regarding Family/Community Ties, Deportable Alien PSF, Prison Disturbance and Medical Transfer Code Descriptions. PSF stands for Public Safety Factor.
4. The floor for the Violent Behavior PSF has been reduced from High Security to Low Security. This will allow lower security level placement.
5. A Custody Variance Table has been developed. This will help with special circumstances in regard to designation.
6. An Expiration Date has been added for the Greater Security Management Variable. This will allow a time-factor analysis on lowering a security level.
7. Unescorted Transfers: Allows for inmates to be transferred from one camp to another that are camp status. This will make nearer transfers and transfers to the RDAP Program easier and more humane.
8. More consideration and urgency are given to the PSI/R - Pre-Sentence Investigation Report (completed by the US Probation Department) and the Statement of Reasons (made by the Sentencing Judge). Based on this, it is more important then ever that these stages be documented and handled properly.
In short, those facing Federal Prison should have an experienced team of sentencing and prison consultants retained as their advocates. Federal Prison Consultants, LLC has over 150 years of combined experience in criminal justice, paralegal and corrections.
