BOP Program Statement 1350.01 § 6
NOTIFICATION TO LEGAL STAFF. When a case is referred to a
Federal, state, or local investigative agency for prosecution,
the SIS shall notify the institution legal staff, or the Regional
Counsel's Office if no legal staff are assigned to that
institution.
Legal staff shall follow any case referred to ensure all
prosecutions are timely.
When a criminal case is referred to the U. S. Attorney's Office
for prosecution, the SIS shall notify the institution legal staff
and the Warden as to whether the case was accepted or declined.
When a referral is declined, the Warden shall notify the Regional
Counsel's Office, and, if the Warden disagrees with the decision
to decline, shall provide a summary of the case to the Regional
Counsel with a recommendation for re-presentation of the case to
the U. S. Attorney.
The Regional Counsel shall review and discuss the matter, the
reasons for the declination, and the Warden's recommendation with
appropriate officials (including if necessary, the Warden,
Regional Director, institution legal staff, law enforcement case
agent, appropriate U. S. Attorney's Office staff, and the General
Counsel).
If, after such discussions, the Bureau believes prosecution is
appropriate, the Regional Counsel shall make a formal re-presentation of the criminal matter to the U. S. Attorney. If
the U. S. Attorney still does not concur with the Bureau's
assessment, the matter shall be referred to the Office of General
Counsel for further action.
