BOP Program Statement 5880.30 § 9
SGT which has been forfeited or withheld may be restored in
accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 4166 which states,
"The Attorney General may restore any forfeited or lost good
time or such portion thereof as he deems proper upon
recommendation of the Director of the Bureau of Prisons."
The Attorney General's authority is delegated to the Director, Bureau
of Prisons, in 28 CFR 0.96(h). The Director has redelegated this
authority to Wardens. Forfeited and withheld SGT is to be considered
for restoration following the procedures of the Program Statement on
Discipline and Special Housing Units.
10. The Statutory Good Time Action Notice, BP-389, is the supporting
documentation for all SGT forfeitures, withholdings and restorations.
This form is completed by the Discipline Hearing Officer (DHO) and is
provided to ISM as notification of the action taken. An original BP-
389 must be placed in the J&C file to substantiate each action.
ISM is responsible for adjusting the SRD based on information
contained on the BP-389. After SENTRY has been updated, a copy of the
form will be forwarded to unit staff for inclusion in the central
file.
PS 5880.30
CN-03, June 30, 1997
Chapter IV, Page 5
If a sentence can be automatically calculated on SENTRY, the recording
of SGT forfeitures, withholdings, and restorations will be
accomplished by ISM staff through use of the SENTRY Statutory Good
Time Status/Update transaction.
If a sentence cannot be automatically calculated on SENTRY, it will be
necessary to maintain a Good Time Record, BP-380, to record
adjustments resulting from SGT actions. The SRD will then be entered
in SENTRY by using the Calc/Update Computation transaction so that the
prisoner's name will appear on the appropriate release list. The
manual Good Time Record will be filed on the right side of the J&C
File.
