BOP Program Statement 5290.14 § 7

a. Normally, pretrial inmates are not required to participate

in either component (institution or unit) of the Bureau’s A&O

Program (see Section 1 of this PS). However, for the safety and

security of the institution as well as other inmates and staff,

pretrial inmates at least, must receive and acknowledge receipt

of the following information/forms:

(1) Inmate Rights and Responsibilities;

(2) The Bureau’s Prohibited Acts and Disciplinary System;

and

(3) Completion of the Inmate Acknowledgment forms

(BP-S407/408).

Providing other information, material, and/or forms is optional

at the Warden’s discretion.

At the Warden’s discretion, pretrial inmates may also be given

the institution’s A&O handbook or materials, particularly if an

extended pretrial status is anticipated. Finally, in some cases,

the Warden may require pretrial inmates to participate in a full

or modified Unit A&O program.

The above information/forms must be filed in the inmate’s drop

b. Normally, holdover inmates are not required to participate

in either component (institution or unit) of the Bureau’s A&O

Program (see Section 1 of this PS). However, for the safety and

security of the institution, other inmates, and staff, holdover

inmates at least, must receive and acknowledge receipt of the

following information/forms at their first holdover facility:

(1) Inmate Rights and Responsibilities;

(2) The Bureau’s Prohibited Acts and Disciplinary System;

and

(3) Completion of the Inmate Acknowledgment forms

(BP-S407/408).

Once holdovers have received the above information and forms,

they need not be provided them again at subsequent en-route

institutions except as noted below.

Note: Completing and/or verifying the information provided on

the Inmate Acknowledgment form (BP-S408) is required at

each holdover facility (refer to Program Statement on

Intake Screening for procedures regarding completion of

the BP-S408).

Providing other information, materials and/or forms is optional

at the Warden’s discretion.

Ordinarily, inmates in holdover status move promptly to their

designated institution and therefore, traditional A&O programming

is not effective. However, at the Warden’s discretion, holdover

inmates may also be given the institution’s A&O handbook or

materials, particularly if an extended holdover status is

anticipated. Finally, in some cases, the Warden may require

holdover inmates participate in a full or modified Unit A&O

Program.

c. Inmates initially housed in the Special Housing Unit (SHU)

will be provided, during the Intake Screening process, with

information regarding SHU safety and operation procedures. This

can be accomplished by providing written material or through

discussion.

d. The housing Unit Officer will provide safety and operation

procedures information to inmates initially housed in general

population as specified in Section 9.c.(2) of this PS.
