BOP Program Statement 7320.01 § 6
ELIGIBILITY FOR HOME CONFINEMENT. All inmates referred to
community corrections are eligible to be considered for home
confinement placement.
While the Bureau also provides Community Corrections Center (CCC)
services for persons as a condition of probation, parole, or
supervised release, only in the most extraordinary circumstances
will the Bureau assume responsibility for such persons on home
confinement.
The Community Corrections Manager (CCM) shall ensure that each
appropriate inmate is placed on home confinement as soon as
otherwise eligible. The CCM shall can consult with the
Community Corrections Regional Administrator (CCRA), or
designee, prior to placing on home confinement any inmate for
whom any of the following factors apply:
a. Public Safety Factors as defined in the Security
Designation and Custody Classification Manual; or
b. Central Inmate Monitoring case (except "pure" separation
cases); or

c. Sensitive, or high profile case or one who might generate
undue public concern; or
d. History of escape or prior CCC failure; or
e. Unlikely to be employed. Historically, inmates who were
not going to be employed were often excluded from community
corrections placements. Examples are inmates who are elderly,
retired, disabled, chronically ill, unable to work at paid
employment, occupied in caring for their own young children or
ill or disabled family members.
When such inmates are otherwise eligible, institutions are
encouraged to refer them for direct placement on home confinement
with special reporting requirements arranged by the CCM. Of
primary concern is ensuring that the Bureau does not incur
community medical costs.
