BOP Program Statement 5218.01 § 7

Unit Management will discuss goals and placement options with the inmate during inmate

program review meetings. The RU Psychologist and Treatment Specialists will provide relevant

information regarding applicable treatment goals, progress, and/or participation in voluntary

Psychology Services programming for the inmate program review meetings in the Insight

Application Suite. When appropriate, RU inmates will be recommended for transfer to lesser

security level institutions or institutions likely to support their success in a general population

setting. Any of the following indicators may suggest an inmate’s need for transfer from the RU:

■ The inmate’s security, mental health, or medical care level increases or decreases.

■ The inmate displays confidence to navigate a general population setting.

■ The inmate requests to return to an institution’s general population.

■ The inmate presents a safety concern and/or is disruptive to the unit, as determined by Special

Investigative Services (SIS) or the Captain.

■ The inmate successfully participates in and completes programming and/or treatment goals set

by Unit Management and/or Psychology Services.

The DSCC may consider Public Safety Factor Waivers, Lesser Security transfers, and/or nearer

release transfers when supported by Unit Management and/or the RU Psychologist. Transfers

may occur at any time during the inmate’s placement in RU.

Occasionally RU inmates will require extended placement in the unit if their presence is not

detrimental to the placement of other inmates and is supported by the RU Psychologist. If an

inmate is designated to a RU for 24 months or more, and does not have verified security concerns,

the RU Psychologist must consult with PSB, Central Office. For inmates with verified security

concerns and designated to a RU for 24 months or more, SIS must consult with the Correctional

Services Branch. These consultations must be documented. An inmate may be removed at any

time from the unit if their behavior creates an immediate and/or ongoing problem for staff and/or

other inmates as determined by the shift Lieutenant, SIS Lieutenant, or the Captain.
