BOP Program Statement 1490.06 § 19
STAFF NOTIFICATION. Any Bureau employee may request
notification of an inmate's release or release-related
proceedings by completing and forwarding a Staff Request for
Victim Notification (Attachment C) to the Warden. The Warden
must provide any relevant comments and forward the request to the
Senior Deputy Assistant Director, Correctional Programs Division,
who is the approving authority. The Senior Deputy Assistant
Director will review the request and notify the Warden of the
decision via a Staff Request for Victim Notification (Attachment
D). Upon approval, Central Office VWP staff will enter the
inmate and victim information in VNS.
For inclusion in the VWP notification process, staff must
ordinarily meet the criteria established for being a “victim” or
“witness,” and “serious crime” as defined in Sections 8.a., 8.b.,
and 8.c. of this Program Statement. The VWP inmate must be
serving a Federal sentence or be under Bureau jurisdiction.
