BOP Program Statement 5880.30 § 9

SGT which has been forfeited or withheld may be restored in

activein force · 1993-07-16 – presentact-effective-date

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.
