BOP Program Statement 1520.10 § 10
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND BUREAU OF PRISONS NAMES AND SEALS
a. The logo and seals of the DOJ, Bureau, UNICOR, and National Institute of Corrections
(NIC) will appear on all publications, as appropriate, and as outlined in DOJ Graphics Standards.
Normally, only the Bureau seal is used for official identification purposes. When a seal is
employed for purposes related solely to UNICOR or NIC operations, however, the separate
UNICOR or NIC seal may be used alone or in conjunction with the Bureau seal.
b. The various seals authorized to identify activities of the Bureau, UNICOR, and NIC are
official identifications and will be used for official purposes only. The seals may not be used in
any manner which would tend to demean the Bureau’s mission or staff.
Wardens and/or Regional Directors may grant use of the seals for other than direct official
identification purpose (e.g., employee clubs, awards, and business cards purchased at the
employees’ expense). However, Regional Directors and Wardens may not authorize the use of
the seals and logos for commercial purposes. Clarifications as to propriety of use will be directed
to the DDS.
c. All publications UNICOR prints for the Bureau will include a reference to the plant
producing the document, in small print on the back cover.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
