BOP Program Statement 5353.02 § 5
FSA CREDIT AND INCENTIVES
The FSA, codified in part in 18 U.S.C. § 3632, states eligible inmates may earn FSA time credits
(FTC) for participating in and completing approved Evidence-Based Recidivism Reduction
(EBRR) programs or Productive Activities (PAs). Refer to Program Statement First Step Act
Assessments, Programming, and Incentives for guidance.
CTE programming is a vital part of the Bureau’s FSA effort to assist inmates in preparing for
post-release employment. Specifically, inmates who have participated in CTE programs learn
valuable knowledge and skills needed to enhance their opportunities for post-release
employment. Upon completion of approved CTE EBRR programs described in Sections 4b, 4c,
and 4d of this program statement, eligible inmates may be awarded FTC or incentives as
described in the Program Statement First Step Act Assessments, Programming, and
Incentives.
