BOP Program Statement 5162.07 § 2
APPLICATION
Criminal offenses defined throughout the United States Code (U.S.C.) that constitute crimes of
violence preclude an inmate from receiving certain Bureau program benefits and are listed in
Section 3 of this Program Statement. Section 4 of this program statement lists offenses not
categorized as crimes of violence that would still preclude an inmate from receiving certain
Bureau program benefits at the Director’s discretion.
If staff believe an inmate’s crime might preclude them from receiving certain Bureau program
benefits but it is not listed in this program statement, they must contact the Office of General
Counsel’s Legislative and Correctional Issues Branch for clarification.
Some of the U.S.C. sections may be listed in more than one section below; such duplication is
indicated by an asterisk. In these cases, staff are to check subsequent sections of the program
statement to determine whether the offense is a crime of violence or an offense that would
otherwise preclude an inmate from receiving certain Bureau program benefits.
