BOP Program Statement 5873.06 § 9
PROCEDURES FOR PRETRIAL RELEASEES. The United States Code
provides instructions regarding release procedures when a person
is arrested but not indicted, indicted but not convicted, or
released to probation.
a. Dismissal of Charges. The court may direct the USMS to
provide persons arrested but not indicted, or indicted but not
convicted, with transportation and subsistence to the place of
arrest, or, at his or her election, to the place of his or her
bona fide residence if such cost is not greater than to the place
of arrest (refer to 18 U.S.C. § 4282 for further information).
b. Release to Probation. The court may direct the USMS to
furnish a prisoner on probation with transportation to the place
to which the prisoner is required to proceed under the terms of
his or her probation. The court may also direct the USMS to
furnish the prisoner with an amount of money for subsistence to
his or her destination (refer to 18 U.S.C. § 3604 for offenses
committed on or after November 1, 1987, and 18 U.S.C. § 4283 for
offenses committed prior to November 1, 1987).
Ordinarily, the Bureau provides an inmate with adequate clothing
upon release, unless clothing worn at the time of commitment is
available and suitable for re-issuance.
