BOP Program Statement 5335.02 § 19

a. Secure PTP/PTU and MRC Admissions. For Secure PTPs/PTUs, PSB will consult with the

Chief Psychologist and/or the Specialty Program Coordinator as appropriate or when needed

about the inmate prior to determining appropriateness for admission. PSB has the authority to

determine whether inmates meet admission criteria for Secure PTPs/PTUs. After PSB has

determined an inmate is appropriate for admission, PSB will request DSCC designate the inmate

to the proper institution after the DSCC’s review, consistent with the Program Statement Inmate

Security Designation and Custody Classification. PSB will consult with OMDT about

Emergency Psychiatric Transfers to MRCs for inmates with a level four mental health care

assignment in the applicable Bureau inmate management system.

b. Oversight and Consultation. The PSB and RPAs offer supportive oversight and guidance

about activation and management of SMHUs and SMHU policy implementation. PSB and RPAs

also offer consultation for psychologists on an as-needed basis in the treatment of inmates and,

particular to this program statement, inmates housed in the SMHU.

c. Continuing Education. The PSB will offer at least one annual web-based training about

treating inmates with an SMI for mental health clinicians. As feasible, the PSB will offer

additional in-person training on this and other related topics. The PSB is responsible for

providing training resources that institution psychologists can use to conduct semi-annual

trainings.
