BOP Program Statement 5394.01 § 9
LEVEL OF PRIVILEGE SYSTEM (LPS)
The CTP employs a Level of Privilege System to encourage CTP inmates to participate and
progress in treatment as well as engage in appropriate behavior. Responsibility for development
and implementation of the privilege system is assigned to the CTP Administrator. Working with
the Unit Manager and Clinical Services Coordinator, the CTP Administrator develops behavior
standards and incentives for each level of privilege, as outlined in the Institution Supplement.
The LPS consists of multiple levels of privilege, with certain privileges associated with each
level. Higher levels have greater privileges; lower levels have fewer. On admission to the CTP,
an inmate is assigned to a baseline privilege level, which may be raised or lowered depending on
the inmate’s behavior and willingness (or refusal) to participate in treatment.
CTP inmates who participate and progress in treatment have the opportunity to attain higher
privilege levels than those who decline. Treatment participants move to a higher privilege level
as they successfully complete each phase of the program.
Based on a consideration of the factors specified above, the MTT will impose an increase or
decrease in an inmate’s level of privilege, as documented in the TBMP. Before a change in
privilege level for a CTP inmate, the MTT ensures consideration of multi-disciplinary factors in
reaching a decision. Review of the CTP inmate’s progress and LPS assignment will be
conducted on at least a quarterly basis.
