An increase of $18,913,000 and 8 positions is requested for an additional 1,500 beds to accommodate the increasing number of criminal aliens due to higher numbers of prosecutions of immigration cases including those along the Southwest border. An increase of $38,530,000 and 4 positions will support a general contract population increase of 1,499 inmates, including 85 juvenile beds.

[3,011]

 

 

 

 

An additional $3,011,000, 50 positions and 38 workyears will be redirected to expand residential drug abuse treatment programs by 10 units. The requested expansion will fulfill BOP's strategic planning objective and will increase BOP's drug abuse treatment program capability. This funding is a redirection of the current funding level, and is not a request for an overall increase to BOP's budget.

A redistribution of $5,000,000 to establish a multi-faith based, prison pre-release pilot program. The pilots will include male and female programs at different geographic sites and security levels. This funding is a redirection of the current funding level, and is not a request for an overall increase to BOP's budget.
