THIS REPORT DESCRIBES THE BUREAU OF PRISONS' BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION PROGRAMS FOR INMATES ASSIGNED TO LONG TERM SEGREGATION AND SUGGESTS WAYS TO IMPROVE THE DIRECTION AND EVALUATION OF SUCH PROGRAMS.
Abstract
THE RECOMMENDATIONS INDICATE THAT THE BUREAU OF PRISONS SHOULD DETERMINE HOW LONG TERM SEGREGATION IS BEING CONDUCTED THROUGHOUT THE FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM AND ASSESS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE INMATES INVOLVED. THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE USED TO DETERMINE THE ADEQUACY OF EXISTING POLICY GUIDANCE, PROCEDURES FOR OVERSEEING INSTITUTION OPERATIONS, AND THE WAY NEW OR DIFFERENT TREATMENT APPROACHES ARE EVALUATED AND APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED FOR WIDER USE.
