BOP Program Statement 5295.01 § 3

Staff who conduct intake screenings must also inform inmates about regulations regarding

correspondence, the disposition of funds, monitoring of inmate telephone calls, procedures for

unmonitored attorney calls, notifications in the event of death or illness, and the disposition of

property.

These subjects are discussed on the BP-A0407, Acknowledgment of Inmate Part 1 & 2 and BP-A0408, Acknowledgment of Inmate Part 3 & 4 forms which provide signature blocks for the

5295.01 9/3/2026 Federal Regulations from 28 CFR: this type. Implementing instructions: this type. 4

inmate to acknowledge they have been advised and understand these regulations and for staff to

certify the inmate was advised.

It is vital that each section of the BP-A0407 and BP-A0408 forms are completed accurately and

legibly. These forms are relied upon for many reasons, including inmate litigation involving the

Bureau. During the inmate’s program review meetings, these forms must be reviewed to ensure

the information has not changed.

A new form is required only if the information on the previous BP-A0407 and/or BP-A0408 has

changed.

An inmate may change the data on either form at any time during incarceration. If the most

current BP-A0407 and BP-A0408 forms contained in the Inmate Central File accurately reflects

the inmate’s information at the time of transfer, a new form is not required. This determination

shall be documented legibly on the most current BP-A0407 and BP-A0408. The documentation

must include the institution mnemonic code, interviewer’s initials, inmate’s initials, and date.

The inmate must record their own initials. Additional information concerning inmate

acknowledgments can be found in the Program Statements Correspondence and Inmate

Telephone Regulations. If a new BP-A0407 or BP-A0408 form is required, it must be

maintained with all previous forms in Section 3 of the Inmate Central File.
