Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 ADMISSION & ORIENTATION The Admission & Orientation (A&O) Program at FCI Loretto is divided into two phases (Participation is mandatory): Phase One (Institution Orientation): Within the first couple weeks after your arrival your name will be put on “call-out” ** (See below) to report to the Chapel. On the assigned day, you will listen to a series of presentations by FCI Loretto’s Executive Staff and Department Heads. You will receive more detailed information relative to the programs and services available at this institution. Any questions you may have can be answered at mainline. Phase Two (Unit Orientation): Your Unit Team will meet with you individually to go over rules and regulations specific to your housing unit, to include their expectations regarding the upkeep and sanitation of your living area. Your unit’s rules and regulations will also be posted on the inmate bulletin board in your respective housing unit. Unless medically unassigned, you will work as an orderly in the housing unit. Once you have completed the A&O Program, you will be assigned to a permanent work detail. ** CALL-OUTS: If you have been scheduled for an appointment (e.g., medical, dental, education, unit team meeting, and/or other activity), your name will appear on the call-out list the day before. Call-outs are posted after 4 p.m. in each of the housing units. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to check the call-out list on a daily basis and to notify your work detail supervisor of your call-out appointment. All scheduled appointments must be kept. Failure to show up for an appointment may result in disciplinary action. UNIT TEAMS You will be assigned to a specific housing unit and Unit Team. Members of your Unit Team will monitor your institutional adjustment, program participation, and overall progress. They will also assist you with release planning. Each Unit Team will be comprised of the following institution staff: a Unit Manager, Case Manager, Correctional Counselor, and Unit Secretary. Unit Manager: The Unit Manager is responsible for monitoring the housing unit’s overall operations, to include supervision of the Case Manager, Correctional Counselor, Unit Secretary and Unit Officer. He or she will serve as the “Chairperson” for your periodic “team” reviews and may also serve as a member of the Unit Disciplinary Committee (UDC). Case Manager: The Case Manager will typically generate all required documentation relating to your confinement here at FCI Loretto, to include: classification materials, progress reports, and release preparation paperwork. He or she will normally serve as a member of the UDC. 6

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012

Correctional Counselor: Your Correctional Counselor can assist you with any questions or concerns you might have relative to your court ordered financial obligations, visiting or phone lists, bed or work assignments, general institution adjustment, or other unit related issues. He or she will also conduct UDCs. Unit Secretary: The Unit Secretary performs clerical and administrative duties. Unit Officer: The Unit Officers have direct responsibility for the day-to-day supervision of inmates and the enforcement of rules and regulations. Their primary role is to ensure the safety, security, and sanitation of the housing unit.

WORK ASSIGNMENTS Every inmate is expected to work unless medically unassigned. Many job assignments provide monetary compensation through a Performance Pay System. Inmates assigned to Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR) will be compensated under a separate pay scale. You will receive work performance evaluations from your work detail supervisor and you are expected to earn your pay. Only unit staff can approve a job change **. ** CHANGE SHEETS: You will be notified of any subsequent changes to your job assignment either by your Counselor and/or the posted Change Sheets. PERFORMANCE PAY/WORK EVALUATIONS Your work detail supervisor will go over your position description with you and ask you to sign and date it. Each position (job) description will clearly state your duties and responsibilities. A Grade Level (1-4) will be associated with each position (UNICOR 1-5). Grade Level 1 positions usually require a higher skill level and greater responsibility; less for grades 2 through 4. Performance pay is based on hours of successfully completed work during each month. The work month begins on the 1st of each month and runs through the last day of the month. Performance pay is generally posted by the 10th of the following month. If sufficient funds are available, bonuses and special awards are considered for those who demonstrate extra initiative during any given month.

Credit card calls are not permitted. Third party calls are strictly prohibited, to include passing the telephone to another inmate during your conversation or having the individual on the other end of the call place a cell phone to the receiver to include a third person. INMATE CALLS ARE MONITORED. Inmates must utilize the TRULINC’s computers to add or delete individual telephone numbers. All telephones will be disabled between the hours of 11:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Inmates found using the phones while they are supposed to be at work or during “count” will be subject to disciplinary action.

The event necessitating the telephone call must be verified. All general and emergency telephone calls are subject to monitoring and recording. Unmonitored, unrecorded phone calls to attorneys can be arranged through your Unit Team. In order to receive an attorney call, your legal counsel must contact a member of your team in advance. Telephones are not to be used to conduct business. VISITING Visiting hours at the FCI are from 8:15 a.m. until 2:15 p.m., Friday through Sunday, and on Federal holidays. Visiting hours at the SPC are from 8:15 a.m. until 2:15 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, and on Federal holidays. You are permitted eight visiting points per month.

Initially, only verified members of your immediate family will be permitted to visit. If you wish to place additional friends and/or relatives on your list, you will need to submit a cop-out to your Counselor. Once approved, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to let your visitors know that they have been placed on your approved visiting list. It is also incumbent upon you to explain the visiting rules and regulations to your respective family and/or friends. Anyone attempting to visit, prior to being officially approved, will be turned away. Falsification of any portion of the visiting questionnaire, by a potential visitor, will result in the visiting request being automatically denied. 10

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 If you have transferred from another institution, your visitors will not be authorized to visit until your Counselor has had an opportunity to review the accuracy of your visiting list. You will be permitted to kiss and embrace your visitor(s) upon arrival and departure. Handholding during the visit itself is also acceptable. Proper decorum, however, must be maintained at all times. Any excessive display of affection may be grounds for termination of the visit and may also result in disciplinary action. You may wear your wedding band and/or religious medal into the Visiting Room. You may also carry a comb and handkerchief. Taking food or medication(s) into the Visiting Room is strictly prohibited. The number of adult visitors is limited to four (4) at any given time. Children under the age of 16 will not be counted. VISITOR IDENTIFICATION: All visitors will be required to present a current photo ID when checking in (e.g., a State Driver’s License or State I.D). Visitors without proper identification will not be permitted to visit. The identification card must bear the full name and signature of the individual wishing to visit. Visitors will be required to pass through a metal detector. All visitors' purses, attorneys' briefcases, etc., may also be subject to search. Purses must be transparent/clear. All other personal articles must be returned to the visitor’s car. All visitors must successfully clear the metal detector. Visitors unable to clear the metal detector due to medical implants (e.g., pacemakers, hip or knee replacements) must provide medical documentation to that effect prior to being screened with a hand held detector and authorized to enter the facility. Children under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Again, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to monitor your child’s behavior. Children will not be permitted to run around, become loud, or otherwise engage in any activity that would disrupt the orderly operation of the visiting room and/or disturb other visitors. All visitors 16 years and older must adhere to the following dress code. Casual attire is permissible; however, absolutely no suggestive or revealing clothing is permitted. Visitors wearing any of the following clothing items will not be authorized to visit: hot pants, tight fitting pants (to include stretch pants, unless worn with an oversized shirt), skirts that fall above the knee, swim suits, tank tops/halter tops, lace shirts/shorts or pants, see-through blouses (unless worn with a camisole), sleeveless shirts, crop tops, gray work out clothing, and/or shirts/dresses with open backs. Sandals and open toe shoes are also prohibited.

11

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 Visitors are allowed to bring in money (not to exceed $30) to purchase food items from the vending machines; a reasonable number of diapers; other infant care items; and sanitary napkins. You will not be permitted to accept money or any other article(s) from your visitor(s) during the course of your visit. Failure to comply with the established visiting regulations may result in a delay or termination of your visit. Visitors are expected to be courteous and respectful to both institution staff and other inmate visitors. Visitors are not permitted to loiter in the institution parking lot, nor converse with inmates at the camp who may be in the general vicinity. LEGAL VISITS: Legal visits by your attorney of record are not considered to be a social visit and, therefore, not counted against your monthly visiting limit. All legal visits must be approved in advance by the Unit Team. Legal visits should be scheduled during regular visiting hours. A glass partitioned area of the Visiting Room will be made available to ensure attorney/client confidentiality. SPECIAL VISITS: "Special” visits, to include visits with clergy, potential employers, investigators, parole representatives, and/or other individuals not appearing on your approved visiting list, must be approved in advance by your Unit Manager and be conducted during regular visiting hours. CONSULAR VISITS: Non-U.S. citizen inmates may wish to meet with a representative from their respective foreign consulate. To initiate such a request, have the embassy forward a written request to the Warden. SMOKING SMOKING IS NOT PERMITTED. Any inmate caught smoking, with tobacco products, and/or other associated items (lighters, etc.) will receive an incident report. Visitors are not permitted to bring any type of tobacco products into the visiting room. UNIT MANAGEMENT INITIAL CLASSIFICATION/ PROGRAM REVIEWS You will be scheduled for an Initial Classification meeting with members of your team shortly after your arrival. This will afford them an opportunity to become familiar with your case and to help you establish short and long range programming goals. 12

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012

You will be scheduled for subsequent Program Reviews either 90 or 180 days. A memo will be posted by the Case Manger each week on the inmate bulletin board, identifying which inmates are coming up for review. You will meet with the various members of your team to discuss your on-going progress, to include: program participation, work performance, Financial Responsibility Program (FRP) status, custody level, release planning efforts, and overall general institutional adjustment. Inmates who meet the established furlough criteria may submit a request for furlough consideration to unit staff at this time. Your first custody review will be conducted within six months after arrival and then every 12 months thereafter, to coincide with your scheduled Program Reviews. Inmates with “IN” custody are not permitted outside the institution without an escort. In order to participate in any community based activities, to include furloughs, you must have “COMMUNITY” custody. Inmates who transfer in from another institution will be reviewed during their initial Program Review.

RESIDENTIAL RE-ENTRY CENTERS (RRCs) Inmates nearing the completion of their sentence will ordinarily be considered for release through an RRC to assist them with their transition back into the community. The duration of RRC placement will be pursuant to the Second Chance Act. The unit team will make a recommendation based on individuals needs for successful reintegration into society.

COMMUNICATIONS BULLETIN BOARDS: Inmate bulletin boards are located in each housing unit, outside the Chapel, near the entrance to Food Service, and in the main corridor. You are expected to review the inmate bulletin boards DAILY for pertinent information. TOWN HALL MEETINGS: Attendance at town hall meetings is MANDATORY. Unit staff use town hall meetings to keep inmates informed regarding policy changes and/or to discuss housing unit issues. Inmates will ordinarily be afforded an opportunity to ask questions relevant to the inmate population as a whole. Personal questions or problems should be addressed on a one on one basis with a member of your Unit Team at a later time. COP-OUTS: The Bureau form BP-70, commonly referred to as a “cop-out, may be used to request an appointment or to ask for staff assistance in resolving a matter. “Cop-out” forms can be obtained through your Correctional Counselor. Completed forms should be placed in the inmate mailbox for routing to the appropriate staff member. 13

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 MAIN LINE: Both Executive Staff and Department Heads regularly stand mainline at the lunch meal and you are encouraged to bring legitimate concerns to their attention. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PROGRAM (FRP) The FRP program will be explained to you in depth at your Initial Classification meeting. You will be required to make regular payments toward any court ordered assessments imposed in your case. These obligations may include: special assessments imposed under 18 USC 3013, court-ordered restitution, fines and court costs, judgments in favor of the U.S., other debts owed the federal government, and/or any other court-ordered obligations (e.g., child support, alimony, other judgments). Your Unit Team will work with you to establish a mutually agreeable financial payment plan and it is expected that you will make every effort possible to reduce your financial obligations. A review of your financial status will be conducted during each subsequent Program Review. It is your responsibility, however, to notify unit staff of any changes to your financial standing that might impact your ability to make the requisite payments (e.g., increased job earnings, outside sale of property, etc.). When community resources are used to make payments towards your financial obligations, you will need to provide a copy of each payment receipt to your Counselor. It is important to note that refusal to participate in the FRP will automatically preclude you from working in UNICOR and may also be taken into consideration by staff when reviewing your eligibility for community activities and/or other institution programs. Additionally, inmates with an outstanding balance will not be allowed to spend more than $25.00 monthly in the commissary (excluding stamps, telephone credits, and certain religious items) if they are in FRP REFUSE status. Priority placement in UNICOR will be given to those inmates with financial obligations over $1,000. Per policy, at least 50% of all UNICOR earnings must be applied towards the balance of one’s financial obligations.

RELEASE OF INFORMATION PRIVACY ACT OF 1974: The Privacy Act of 1974 precludes the release of information from agency records without the expressed written consent of the individual to whom the record pertains. For additional information, reference Program Statement 1315, Legal Activities, Inmate, available in the Law Library.

An inmate may not submit an Administrative Remedy on behalf of another inmate. (Tort Claims, Inmate Accident Compensation, Freedom of Information or Privacy Act requests, and complaints on behalf of other inmates, are not accepted under the Administrative Remedy Process. Any request involving monetary reimbursement must be filed as an Administrative Tort Claim.) HOW THE ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDY PROCESS WORKS: Informal Resolution. The first step is to request an Administrative Remedy Informal Resolution Form (BP-8.5) from your Counselor. Briefly state your complaint on the form and return it to a member of your Unit Team. Staff will respond to your complaint and you will have an opportunity to either accept or reject the proposed resolution. If you are not satisfied with the response, you may request a Request for Administrative Remedy Form (BP-9) from your Counselor. Initial Filing. The deadline for completion of the informal resolution process and submission of a formal written request for remedy is 20 calendar days from the date of the incident.

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 HEALTH SERVICES The following medical services are available at FCI Loretto: sick call/pill line; routine treatment; emergency treatment; and follow-up care thru the Chronic Care Clinic. You will be assigned to a specific Primary Care Provider (PCP) based upon the 4th and 5th digits of your register number (00000-000). For a current PCP listing, check the inmate bulletin board(s) within your housing unit. The same memo has been posted in the Health Services Department. To request a medical evaluation (non-emergency), submit a “cop-out” to your respective PCP. If your condition requires more immediate attention, you may sign up for sick call to be triaged (screened). Only emergent medical problems will be evaluated the day you sign up; however, all non-emergent matters will be referred to your PCP for future placement on call-out. Prior to signing up for sick call, you must complete an “FCI Loretto Inmate Sick Call Sign-Up Sheet.” The form is available either from the Unit Officer or from Health Services’ staff. Forms at the camp are located in a box adjacent to the Medical Room. You must bring the form with you to sick call. Sick Call: Routine sick call sign up is held Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, in the Health Services Department between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., at the FCI and between the hours of 6:15 a.m. and 6:30 a.m., at the Camp. If a holiday occurs during the week, then sick call will be held on Wednesday. Emergency visits to the Health Services Department will be by appointment only, after the Detail Supervisor, Unit Officer, or other staff member notifies a healthcare staff member. Pharmacy: Pill line is held in the Health Services Department seven (7) days a week between the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 7:45 a.m.; 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon; and from 8:30 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. (FCI). Prescription refill requests should be turned in at the 7:30 a.m. pill line. At the camp, the time frames are from 6:15 a.m. to 6:30 a.m.; 3:00 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.; and from 8:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. Prescription refill requests should be turned in at the 3:00 p.m. pill line.

If you need to purchase OTC medications prior to or after your normal shopping day, you will need to take a copy of your medical slip with you to Commissary. 17

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012

Dental: Requests for dental treatment will be processed in the order that they are submitted (date on your cop-out). If you require emergency dental care, you need to show up for the next regularly scheduled sick call. Eyeglasses:  Requests for eye examinations for glasses must be screened through your PCP. Glasses, if needed, will be prescribed by a contract Optometrist and ordered without cost to the inmate. Delivery normally takes between four (4) to six (6) weeks. An inmate may choose to have an Optometrist of their choice fabricate the glasses; however, this will be at the inmate’s expense. Physical Examinations:  All inmates receive a medical examination upon commitment to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. You are also eligible for subsequent evaluations on a periodic basis. To request a medical evaluation, forward a “cop out” to your respective PCP. These examinations will fall under what is considered “AgeSpecific Preventative Health Examinations” (information will be periodically posted in Health Services addressing preventative health issues).  If you are being released from custody, you may request (via a “cop-out” to your PCP) a medical evaluation, provided that you have not had one within one year prior to your projected release date. This examination will usually occur within two (2) months of release. Smoking Cessation: The institution has developed a Smoking Cessation Program that will assist inmates who are interested in stopping smoking. This program provides information on nutrition, lifestyle modification changes, to include exercise, stress management, and weight loss. The purchase of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) through the Commissary must be authorized by the Health Services Department. To do so, you must forward a request, in writing, to your PCP who will conduct a medical evaluation and collect clinically pertinent information prior to approving NRT. Once approved for either a six (6) or ten (10) week program, NRT patches can then be purchased through the Commissary.

Inmate Grievances: 18

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 Should any inmate have a grievance against the Health Services Department, it is expected that the chain of command will be followed. This involves discussing your healthcare concerns with your Primary Care Provider and/or the Clinical Director. You may submit an Inmate Request to Staff, to either the Clinical Director to discuss your healthcare concerns and/or to request a medical examination; or you may speak to the Health Services Administrator during open house/mainline. You also may submit an Inmate Request to Staff to the Health Services Administrator for a written response. If you feel that your concern and/or grievance has not been adequately addressed, you may also file an appeal via the Administrative Remedy Process. General Information: The Health Services corridor is off limits, OUT OF BOUNDS, to all inmates unless you are signing up for sick call; are on call-out for a scheduled appointment; attending pill line; or if a bona fide emergency exists. Proper institution attire is required at all times other than an emergency situation. Medical coverage on evenings, weekends, and holidays is for the treatment of acute medical problems only. The Health Services staff will review all inmate medical records to ensure that each inmate receives updated immunizations, to include: Tetanus Immunizations; Hepatitis A & B Immunizations (dependent upon exposure risks and current medical diagnosis); Pneumococcal Immunizations (based upon clinical need); Influenza Vaccination on an annual basis (dependent upon clinical indications and availability of supply); Mumps Vaccination and Varicella Immunization; or any other immunization update deemed clinically necessary. Inmate Copayment Program: In an effort to ensure that health care services are appropriately utilized, the Bureau of Prisons has mandated a Copay Program. Inmates will pay a $2.00 fee for each health care visit that is requested by the inmate (or referred to Health Services by non-clinical staff at the inmate’s request). This includes daily sick call requests, after-hour requests to see a health care provider, non-emergencies, injuries (including injuries to other inmates if you are found responsible through the Disciplinary Hearing Process to have injured an inmate, who, as a result of the injury, requires a health care visit). The Copay Program also includes inmates that are housed in the Special Housing Unit. Inmates will not be charged a fee for health care services based on medical staff referrals, medical staff-approved follow-up treatment for a chronic condition, Preventative Health, bona fide emergencies, diagnosis and treatment of chronic infectious diseases, mental health care or substance abuse treatment. 19

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 Indigency: An indigent inmate is an inmate who has not had a trust fund account balance of $6.00 for the past 30 days. If an inmate shows a pattern of depleting his account before requesting health care services, the Warden may impose restrictions on the inmate to prevent abuse of this provision. If an inmate routinely has funds in his account, but does not have funds on the day of the requested visit, a debt will be established by TRUFACS, and the amount will be deducted as funds are deposited into that Inmate Commissary Account. Health care providers at FCI Loretto will not be concerned with the financial status of the inmate. Services will not be denied because an inmate is indigent or has no money in the account on the day of the visit. Health Education/Infectious Diseases: Health Education on Infectious Diseases will be provided during the A&O Lecture. General topics of discussion on Infectious Diseases will include the showing of the HIV Video and Handouts, as well as discussions on: HIV testing: The first test done is the ELISA. If the test is positive, a WESTERN BLOT test will be performed as this is a more accurate test. If this is positive, then it shows HIV antibodies within the body. The inmate will be followed monthly on the clinic and laboratory tests will be drawn as indicated. A positive result is confidential and only the Health Services Department and Psychology Department will be aware of this result. Medications provided for HIV inmates are only those medications that have been approved by the FDA. As clinically recommended, no experimental medications can be used. High risk behaviors include IVDA, increased sexual contacts, homosexual contact, and blood transfusions over the past fifteen years. If someone is considered high risk, then testing should be performed. Hepatitis testing: Hepatitis testing is only done when medically indicated either through an exposure activity or diagnostic purposes. High risk behaviors include IVDA, increased sexual contacts, homosexual contact, and blood transfusions over the past ten (10) or greater years. Tuberculosis testing: A mantoux PPD test is completed annually on all inmates who have previously tested negative. This is to prevent the outbreak of a TB epidemic. Anyone who has an initial positive reaction will receive an x-ray. If the individual has active tuberculosis, the patient will be transported to a facility where they can be medically isolated for the initial treatment period. If the individual has an initial positive reaction and the x-ray shows no active tuberculosis, the patient will be offered prophylactic medication. This medication regimen is for nine (9) months (or up to twelve (12) months, depending upon the clinical indication). The medication will be administered on Tuesdays and Fridays, during the noon pill line 20

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 in the Health Services Department. It is essential that anyone started on the treatment continue the treatment so that they do not build up immunity to the medication and later develop tuberculosis.

PSYCHOLOGY SERVICES The Psychology Services Department provides services to inmates identified as suffering from diagnostic mental health disorders and offers courses for all inmates relating to drug abuse, family concerns, and personal development. A current listing of available programs will be discussed during your Admission and Orientation lecture by the Psychology Department and is posted on the bulletin board located in the main corridor. Special programs exist at other facilities throughout the Bureau of Prisons including the Residential Drug Treatment Program and the Sex Offender Treatment Program. If you have an interest in any of these special programs, you may discuss them with the Psychologist and/or your Unit Team. Psychology Services is available for a variety of treatment programs and crisis resolution situations. Classes are offered to assist with adjustment to incarceration as well as growth courses to assist with lifestyle choices. Contact the Drug Treatment Specialist (DTS) or a Psychologist if you are interested in any psychology-related programs, via cop-out or open house hours (Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 8:00 a.m.). SUICIDE PREVENTION: A major focus for the Psychology Department is the management of mental health related disorders and crises in order to prevent suicides. Many individuals face crises, both personal and familial, during their incarceration. Should you or someone you know begin to discuss thoughts or plans of suicide, please approach any staff member and communicate your concerns. SEXUAL ASSAULT INTERVENTION/PREVENTION: The prevention, and if necessary, intervention for sexual assault is another component directly related to the work of Psychology Services. All sexual activity in Bureau facilities is strictly prohibited and accusations of sexual assault are taken very seriously. Communication to staff members is encouraged to prevent sexual assaults from occurring. What is Sexual Abuse/Assault? An incident is considered Inmate-on-Inmate Abuse/Assault when any sexually abusive behavior occurs between two or more inmates. An incident is considered Staff-on-Inmate Abuse/Assault when any sexually abusive behavior is initiated by a staff member toward one or more inmates. It is also considered Staff-on-Inmate Abuse/Assault if a staff member willingly engages in sexual acts or contacts that are initiated by an inmate. 21

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 NOTE: Sexual acts or contacts between two or more inmates, even when no objections are raised, are prohibited acts, and may be illegal. Sexual acts or contacts between an inmate and a staff member, even when no objections are raised by either party, are always forbidden and illegal. Inmates who have been sexual assaulted by another inmate or staff member will not be prosecuted or disciplined for reporting the assault. However, inmates will be penalized for knowingly filing any false report. You Have the Right to be Safe from Sexually Abusive Behavior. You do not have to tolerate sexually abusive behavior or pressure to engage in unwanted sexual behavior from another inmate or a staff member. Regardless of your age, size, race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation, you have the right to be safe from sexually abusive behavior. What Can You Do To Prevent Sexually Abusive Behavior? Here are some things you can do to protect yourself and others against sexually abusive behavior: o o o o o o o o o o

Carry yourself in a confident manner at all times. Do not permit your emotions (fear/anxiety) to be obvious to others. Do not accept gifts or favors from others. Most gifts or favors come with strings attached to them. Do not accept an offer from another inmate to be your protector. Find a staff member with whom you feel comfortable discussing your fears and concerns. Be alert! Do not use contraband substances such as drugs or alcohol; these can weaken your ability to stay alert and make good judgments. Be direct and firm if others ask you to do something you don’t want to do. Do not give mixed messages to other inmates regarding your wishes for sexual activity. Stay in well lit areas of the institution. Choose your associates wisely. Look for people who are involved in positive activities like educational programs, psychology groups, or religious services. Get involved in these activities yourself. Trust your instincts. If you sense that a situation may be dangerous, it probably is. If you fear for your safety, report your concerns to staff.

What Can You Do if You Are Afraid or Feel Threatened? If you are afraid or feel you are being threatened or pressured to engage in sexual behaviors, you should discuss your concerns with staff. Because this can be a difficult topic to discuss, some staff, like psychologists, are specially trained to help you deal with problems in this area.

22

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 If you feel immediately threatened, approach any staff member and ask for assistance. It is part of his/her job to ensure your safety. If it is a staff member that is threatening you, report your concerns immediately to another staff member that you trust, or follow the procedures for making a confidential report.

What Can You Do if You Are Sexually Assaulted? If you become a victim of a sexually abusive behavior, you should report it immediately to staff who will offer you protection from the assailant. You do not have to name the inmate(s) or staff assailant(s) in order to receive assistance, but specific information may make it easier for staff to know how best to respond. You will continue to receive protection from the assailant, whether or not you have identified him or her (or agree to testify against him/her). After reporting any sexual assault, you will be referred immediately for a medical examination and clinical assessment. Even though you many want to clean up after the assault it is important to see medical staff BEFORE you shower, wash, drink, eat, change clothing, or use the bathroom. Medical staff will examine you for injuries which may or may not be readily apparent to you. They can also check you for sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, if appropriate, and gather any physical evidence of assault. The individuals who sexually abuse or assault inmates can only be disciplined and/or prosecuted if the abuse is reported. How Do You Report an Incident of Sexually Abusive Behavior? It is important that you tell a staff member if you have been sexually assaulted. It is equally important to inform staff if you have witnessed sexually abusive behavior. You can tell your case manager, Chaplain, Psychologist, SIS, the Warden or any other staff member you trust. BOP staff members are instructed to keep reported information confidential and only discuss it with the appropriate officials on a need-to-know basis concerning the inmatevictim’s welfare and for law enforcement or investigative purposes. There are other means to confidentiality report sexually abusive behavior if you are not comfortable talking with staff: • Write directly to the Warden, Regional Director or Director. You can send the Warden an Inmate Request to Staff Member (Cop-out) or a letter reporting the sexually abusive behavior. You may also send a letter to the Regional Director or Director of the Bureau of Prisons. To ensure confidentiality, use special mail procedures.

23

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 • File an Administrative Remedy. You can file a Request for Administrative Remedy (BP-9). If you determine your complaint is too sensitive to file with the Warden, you have the opportunity to file your administrative remedy directly with the Regional Director (BP-10). You can get the forms from your counselor or other unit staff. Counseling Programs for Victims of Sexually Abusive Behavior Most people need help to recover from the emotional effects of sexually abusive behavior. If you are the victim of sexually abusive behavior, whether recent or in the past, you may seek counseling and/or advice from a psychologist or chaplain. Crisis counseling, coping skills, suicide prevention, mental health counseling, and spiritual counseling are all available to you. Note: Sexual acts or contacts between two or more inmates, even when no objections are raised, are prohibited acts, and may be illegal. Sexual acts or contacts between an inmate and a staff member, even when no objections are raised by either party, are always forbidden and illegal. You may write to the following: Regional Director, Northeast Regional Office U.S. Customs House, 7th Floor 2nd and Chestnut Streets Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19106 Director Bureau of Prisons Federal Bureau of Prisons 320 First Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20534 Management Program for Inmate Assailants Anyone who sexually abuses/assaults others while in the custody of the BOP will be disciplined and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If you are an inmate assailant, you will be referred to Correctional Services for monitoring. You will be referred to Psychology Services for an assessment of risk and treatment and management needs. Treatment compliance or refusal will be documented and decisions regarding your conditions of confinement and release may be effected. If you feel that you need help to keep from engaging in sexually abusive behaviors, psychological services are available. Drug Abuse Program (DAP): There are three levels of drug abuse treatment programs available for inmates in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. In addition, Psychology Services staff at this institution also facilitate voluntary self-help groups, as well as 12step recovery programs.

24

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 The Drug Education Program is available at all institutions to anyone interested. The purpose of the program is to: 1) assist you in getting straight information on drugs; 2) help you make an honest assessment of the costs/benefits of drug use; and 3) point you in the direction of additional counseling. This program is required for individuals that are recommended by either their Unit Team (due to drugs or alcohol being related to your offense) or your judge. Inmates required to participate who refuse to do so will have pay grade and Residential Re-Entry Center restrictions implemented. The Non-Residential Drug Treatment Program is a voluntary counseling program available at all institutions for individuals with a history of substance use. You develop a treatment plan together with a psychology staff member to address your particular needs. This program is more intensive and focuses on how to maintain a drug-free lifestyle upon release from prison. Residential Drug Treatment is not offered at this facility, but those inmates who qualify for the program may be transferred to another institution. This voluntary program is currently available in over 40 institutions. The program provides an intensive, unitbased treatment experience provided by Drug Treatment Specialists, a Program Coordinator, and other institution staff. The program consists of two phases, with the initial phase (9 months) taking place within an institution and the second phase (6 months) taking place in a community corrections facility. The treatment includes modules intended to improve your thinking skills, decision making, interpersonal communication, and wellness. You develop a better understanding of issues related to substance abuse, family dynamics, and relapse prevention. There is a significant effort to develop a treatment plan which addresses your needs. To participate in these programs, there must be evidence (usually in the PSI) of documented substance abuse in the twelve (12) months prior to your incarceration. The primary benefit of participation is clearly the information which you learn, the skills you develop, and the experience of being a member of the program. Other incentives include financial achievement awards and possible "early release" consideration up to twelve (12) months if additional criteria are met. Inmates interested in this program with less than thirty-six (36) months remaining on their sentence may submit a request to Psychology staff in order to be interviewed for the program. For details on admission criteria and guidelines for early release eligibility, inmates can refer to Program Statement 5330 (Drug Abuse Programs Manual) located in the library. Any inmates interested in other Drug Treatment Programs may approach Psychology staff at "Open House" from 7:30 a.m. until 8:00 a.m., Monday through Friday. Otherwise, they may submit a "cop-out" to Psychology Services requesting information or an application for programs.

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 INMATE PROGRAMMING EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The Education Department provides academic classes, vocational training, recreation, and leisure activities for inmates who wish to, or who are required to, participate. The primary goal of the program is to meet the needs of inmates in the areas of: Functional literacy High school equivalency Marketable work skills Continuing education Positive use of leisure time You will be assigned an Education Representative who will meet with you to discuss your educational needs and/or interests. The Education Representative is a voting member on your Unit Team and reports your progress regarding your individual education plan. Individual needs are determined through the administration of a test, a review of your PSI, and, as mentioned, a personal interview. The following programs are currently offered: ACADEMIC EDUCATION AREAS: GED LITERACY PROGRAM (GED): The GED Literacy Program is a mandatory program. In accordance with Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Program Statement 5350, Literacy Program (GED Standard), any inmate who does not have a verified high school diploma or GED must attend literacy classes for a minimum of 240 instructional hours. An inmate may test out of the Literacy Program prior to the conclusion of the 240-hour period. Pursuant to the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (VCCLEA), and the 1995 Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA), an inmate lacking a high school credential must participate and make satisfactory progress in the Literacy Program in order to vest earned Good Conduct Time (GCT). Bureau staff shall consider whether inmates have earned or are making satisfactory progress towards attainment of a GED certificate. TESTING PROCEDURES: Any inmate who does not have a verified high school diploma or GED certificate must take the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) within two weeks of his commitment date. The results of this test assist with the assignment to a pre-GED or GED class. If you claim that you have a high school diploma or GED and this is not verifiable, you will have 60 days to provide proof of your claim to the Education Department. Documentation must be received directly from the appropriate school or agency or when the achievement is officially verified by appropriate 26

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 government personnel in the Presentence Investigation Report (PSI). If your claim cannot be verified within this 60 day period, you will be required to take the TABE test and will be scheduled for class. ADULT BASIC EDUCATION (ABE): Adult Basic Education is a program for inmates who score lower than the fifth grade level on the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE). Curriculum areas include mathematics, language, spelling, reading comprehension, and vocabulary skills. The instruction is individualized to allow students to work at their own pace. ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE: Federal Bureau of Prisons Program Statement 5350, English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL), and the Crime Control Act of 1990 (CCA) require limited English proficient inmates confined in a Federal Prison System facility to participate in the ESL Program. They must remain in the ESL Program until they can function at the equivalence of the eighth grade level in competency skills (as measured by a score of 225 on the Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System [CASAS] test). ADULT CONTINUING EDUCATION (ACE): ACE courses are inmate-taught, general knowledge/information courses which last eight (8) to twelve (12) weeks.

This area also contains important addresses, phone numbers and community resources that are vital to an inmate’s success after his release from prison. With the help of a trained Job Coach, inmates can work to determine a career path, set goals to progress towards that job, participate in educational training as needed, and learn the skills necessary to land a job upon release. The following are the hours of the ERC: Sunday, 7:00 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.; Monday through Thursday, 2:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m., and Friday from 2:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m.

RECREATION DEPARTMENT The Recreation Department provides a broad range of recreational/leisure time activities for Loretto's inmate population. Inmates should be aware of any physical limitations they might have and medical clearance is mandatory for all strenuous activities. Feel free to discuss individual needs with recreation staff members. A gymnasium is located adjacent to the Visiting Room. The recreation facilities provide inmates with a variety of activities, including, but not limited to, varsity and intramural basketball, softball, and volleyball. The gym closes each night at 8:30 p.m. Also offered are craft programs in fine arts, ceramics and leatherwork, an outside track area for running or walking, and special entertainment and games, contests, and holiday activities. The Recreation Department also strives to offer activities to those individuals who, for whatever reason, do not participate in regularly scheduled recreation programs. Schedules for specific activities are posted on inmate and recreation bulletin boards. The recreation staff encourage inmates to take advantage of the facilities and activities offered and to pursue personally satisfying and meaningful use of free time.

28

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 RELIGIOUS SERVICES The Pastoral Care Department sponsors a comprehensive group of programs for the inmate population. These programs provide numerous opportunities for an inmate to practice his faith and/or receive assistance in developing his spiritual wellness. A chaplain is available for pastoral counseling for all inmates regardless of faith or denominational affiliation. Also, there are many volunteers and contract chaplains available with whom you can talk. The schedule for these activities is posted on inmate bulletin boards throughout the institution. The Chapel complex has areas for worship, prayer, and study. There is also a library of books, CD’s, and videos/DVD’s to enhance your spiritual growth. CORRECTIONAL AND DISCIPLINARY ISSUES GENERAL COUNT TIMES: Counts are one of the first realities of institutional life you will encounter. It is necessary for the staff to count inmates on a regular basis. During a count, inmates are expected to stay quietly in their sleeping areas until the clearance of the count is announced. Official count times at FCI Loretto are Monday through Friday: 12:00 midnight; 3:00 a.m.; 5:00 a.m.; 4:15 p.m. (stand-up), and 9:30 p.m. (stand-up), On Saturdays, Sundays and Federal holidays: same as above plus a 10:00 a.m. stand-up count. THERE WILL BE NO MOVEMENT OR TALKING DURING THE COUNTS. THE RED LIGHTS LOCATED IN THE HALLWAYS WILL BE ON, INDICATING A COUNT IS IN PROGRESS. The staff will take disciplinary action if an inmate is not in his assigned area during a count. Disciplinary action will also be taken against inmates for leaving an assigned area before the count is cleared. Each inmate must actually be seen at all counts, even if the inmate must be awakened. OFF-LIMITS: Inmates will be permitted only in their designated housing areas, the dining area, Education complex, Chapel, and in designated inside and outside recreation areas. All other areas are off-limits, unless you are assigned to and performing work on a specific work detail. Contact between inmates and civilian workers are prohibited. The outside recreation yard is closed at dusk. Loitering in the main hallway and breeze ways, at any time, is prohibited.

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 CONTRABAND: Contraband is defined as any item not authorized or issued by the institution, received through approved channels, or purchased through the Commissary. Any item in an inmate's personal possession must be authorized, and a record of the receipt of each item should be kept in the inmate's possession. Inmates may not purchase radios or any other items from other inmates. Items purchased in this manner are considered contraband and will be confiscated. Any altered item, even an approved or issued item, is considered contraband. Altering or damaging government property is a violation of institution rules and the cost of the damage will be levied against the violator. DRUG SURVEILLANCE: FCI Loretto operates a Drug Surveillance Program that includes mandatory random testing, as well as testing of certain other categories of inmates. If a staff member orders an inmate to provide a urine sample for this program, and the inmate does not do so, that inmate will be subject to an Incident Report. ALCOHOL DETECTION: A program for alcohol surveillance is also in effect at FCI Loretto. Random samples of the inmate population, as well as those suspected of alcohol use, are tested on a routine basis. A positive test will result in the violator receiving an Incident Report. Refusal to submit to the test will also result in an Incident Report. INMATE DISCIPLINE DISCIPLINE: It is the policy of the Bureau of Prisons to provide a safe and orderly environment for all inmates. Violations of rules and regulations are dealt with by the Unit Discipline Committees (UDC) and, for more serious violations, the Discipline Hearing Officer (DHO). Inmates are advised upon arrival at the institution of the rules and regulations, and are provided with copies of the Bureau's Prohibited Acts, as well as local regulations. Inmates must demonstrate respect for the rights and property of others. Inmates may receive their DHO hearing through the use of video equipment. A copy of the Bureau’s Prohibited Acts is also included at the end of this handbook. (Attachment B). INMATE DISCIPLINE INFORMATION: If a staff member observes or believes he or she has evidence that an inmate has committed a prohibited act, the first step in the disciplinary process is the writing of an Incident Report. This is a written notice of the charges against the inmate. The Incident Report shall ordinarily be delivered to the inmate within twenty-four (24) hours from the time staff became aware of the inmate's involvement in the incident. An informal resolution of the incident may be attempted by the Correctional Supervisor. Informal resolution is encouraged by the Bureau of Prisons for all violations except those in the “Greatest Severity” Category. Violations in the “Greatest Severity” 30

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 Category must be forwarded to the DHO for final disposition. If an informal resolution is not accomplished, the Incident Report is forwarded to the UDC for an initial hearing. The Program Statement on Inmate Discipline was updated in March 2006. For inmates sentenced under the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA), or rated as violent under the Violent Crime Control Act (VCCLEA) of 1994, the DHO is required to impose mandatory disciplinary sanctions of loss of good time. For further clarification, inmates should refer to the Inmate Discipline and Special Housing Unit Program Statement, 5270.07, Chapters Four and Five. INITIAL HEARING: Inmates must ordinarily be given an initial hearing within five (5) working days of the time staff became aware of the inmate's involvement in the incident (excluding the day staff became aware of the incident, weekends, and holidays). The inmate is entitled to be present at the initial hearing. The inmate may make statements or present documentary evidence on his behalf. The UDC must give its decision in writing to the inmate by the close of business the next working day. The UDC may extend the time limits of these procedures for good cause. The Warden must approve any extension over five (5) days. The inmate must be provided with written reasons for any extension. The UDC may informally resolve the incident report, make final disposition and impose sanctions, or refer the incident report to the DHO for final disposition. DISCIPLINE HEARING OFFICER (DHO): The DHO conducts disciplinary hearings on serious rule violations. The DHO may not act on a case that has not been referred by the UDC. The Captain conducts periodic reviews of the inmates placed in Disciplinary Segregation. Inmates may have received their DHO Hearing via the DHO Video Conferencing procedures established at FCI Loretto. An inmate will be provided with advance written notice of the charges not less than 24 hours before his appearance before the DHO. The inmate may waive this requirement. An inmate will be provided with a full-time staff member of his choice to act as a staff representative if requested. An inmate may make statements in his own defense and produce documentary evidence. The inmate may present a list of witnesses and request they testify at the hearing. Inmates can not question a witness at the hearing. The staff representative and/or the DHO will question any witness for the inmate. An inmate may submit a list of questions for the witness(es) to the DHO if there is no staff representative. The DHO will request a statement from all unavailable witnesses whose testimony is deemed relevant. The inmate has the right to be present throughout the DHO hearing, except during deliberations. The inmate charged may be excluded during appearances of outside witnesses or when institution security could be jeopardized. The DHO may postpone or continue a hearing for good cause. Reasons for the delay must be documented in the record of the hearing. Final disposition is made by the DHO. 31

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 APPEALS OF DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS: Appeals of all disciplinary actions may be made through the Administrative Remedy procedure. UDC appeals are made at the institution level (BP-9). All DHO appeals are made to the Regional Director with a (BP-10). Appeals of UDC actions are made to the Regional Director (BP-10), if denied at the institution level, and to the General Counsel (BP-11), if denied by the Regional Director. On appeal, the following items will be considered: Whether the UDC or DHO substantially complied with the regulations on inmate discipline. Whether the UDC or DHO based its decisions on substantial evidence. Whether an appropriate sanction was imposed according to the severity level of the prohibited act. The staff member who responds to the appeal may not be involved in the incident in any way. These staff members include UDC members, the DHO, the investigator, the reporting officer, and the staff representative. SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT (SHU) STATUS: While housed in SHU, you will be either considered Administrative Detention or Disciplinary Segregation. Administrative Detention separates an inmate from the general population. To the extent practical, an inmate in Administrative Detention shall be provided with the same general privileges as inmates in general population. An inmate may be placed in Administrative Detention when the inmate is in holdover status during transfer, is a new commitment pending classification, is pending investigation or a hearing for a violation of Bureau regulations, is pending investigation or trial for a criminal act, is pending transfer, and for protective custody. Disciplinary Segregation is used as a sanction for violations of Bureau rules and regulations. Inmates in Disciplinary Segregation will be denied certain privileges. Personal property will usually be impounded. Inmates placed in Disciplinary Segregation are provided with blankets, a mattress, a pillow, toilet tissue, and shaving utensils (as necessary). Inmates may possess legal and religious materials while in Disciplinary Segregation. Inmates in the Special Housing Unit shall be seen by a member of the medical staff daily, including weekends and holidays. A unit staff member will visit the Special Housing Unit daily. Inmates in both Administrative Detention and Disciplinary Segregation are provided with regular reviews of their housing status. This institution does participate in DHO videoconferencing. Inmates will be receive a Notice of Advisement during the UDC process. See Attachment 1. Every inmate needs to read and understand they are responsible for their actions while housed at this facility and are responsible for the following attachments at the back of the A&O Handbook : Summary of the Inmate Discipline System from Program Statement 5270.09, (Appendix B) 32

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 outside the institution’s dining hall. Two large, blue postal service-type boxes are provided for outgoing general correspondence. Outgoing mail may be sealed unless you have been authorized to correspond with another confined inmate or are on restricted correspondence. In this case, your outgoing mail must be left open. OUTGOING LEGAL/SPECIAL MAIL PROCEDURES: Inmates must hand carry their outgoing Legal/Special Mail directly to the mail room staff. Legal/Special Mail will be accepted during the below noted times. Monday Tuesday - Friday

If anyone besides the inmate listed in the return address block brings the Legal/Special Mail to the mail room, they will receive an incident report. For identification purposes inmates must have their commissary card in their possession when they deliver their Legal/Special Mail. Outgoing Legal/Special Mail weighing 16 ounces or greater will be processed as a package. A Request-Authorization to Mail Inmate Package will be filled out at the mail room and the inmate must pack the package in the presence of the mail room officer to ensure no contraband is being mailed. INCOMING LEGAL/SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE: All incoming Legal/Special Mail must be adequately identified as being received from a Legal/Special Mail source (along with the marking “Special Mail-Open Only in the Presence of the Inmate ” on the outside of the envelope), will be date-time stamped upon receipt in the mail room and you will be called to the Mail Room to receive your Legal/Special Mail, either by call-out or intercom system. It is your responsibility to notify your attorney(s) of the legal mail marking requirement in order for your mail to be afforded this special processing. Attachment C to this handbook is provided for you to use in notifying your attorney. Additional copies of this attachment may be obtained from your counselor or at the Mail Room. INCOMING PUBLICATIONS: FCI Loretto permits inmates to subscribe to and receive publications without prior approval. The term “publication” means a book, single issue of a magazine or newspaper, or materials addressed to a specific inmate, such as advertising brochures, flyers, and catalogs. An inmate may receive soft-cover publications (paperback books, etc.) from any source. An inmate may receive hardcover publications and publications from a publisher 34

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 or bookstore only. Due to sanitation and for fire safety reasons, accumulation of publications will be limited to ten magazines (not to be more than three months old) and to the amount that can be neatly stored in the locker and/or shelf provided in each room. Section 614 of the Fiscal Year 1999 Omnibus Budget Act (P.L. 105-277) prohibits the Bureau of Prisons from distributing or making available to inmates any commercially published material which is sexually explicit or features nudity. This amendment is referred to as the “Ensign Amendment.” Publications also can be rejected if they contain any of the following: articles depicting security devices, articles detailing construction of bombs or weapons, articles detailing or encouraging escape from correctional facilities, articles promoting any racial violence, explicit homosexual activity, sexual activity with minors or animals. The Warden can also reject a publication if it is determined to be detrimental to the security and orderly running of the institution, or if it might facilitate criminal activity. PACKAGES: Materials otherwise approved by Bureau of Prisons policy for retention by an inmate (e.g. magazines, paperback books, legal materials) received in packages form must be clearly marked with the special mail/legal markings or the citation “Contents – Authorized Publications” in order to be received from the U.S. Post Office. These markings are intended to alert the Mail Room Officer to the fact that enclosed materials contain matter approved under an existing Bureau policy and do not require a Special Package Authorization Form. The only package an inmate may receive from home is that containing release clothing, within the last 30 days of confinement. A Package Authorization Form must be obtained from your Correctional Counselor. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN CONFINED INMATES: An inmate may be permitted to correspond with any inmate confined in another penal or correctional institution. This is permitted if the other inmate is either a member of the immediate family, or is party in a legal action (or witness) in which both parties are involved. The following additional limitations apply: Such correspondence may always be inspected and read by staff at the sending and receiving institutions (it may not be sealed by the inmate). ● Staff at both institutions must approve the correspondence in advance. Your Case Manager can assist you in obtaining approval. ●

REJECTION OF CORRESPONDENCE: The Warden may reject correspondence sent by, or to, an inmate if it is determined to be detrimental to 35

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 the security, good order, or discipline of the institution, to the protection of the public, or if it might facilitate criminal activity. The Warden will give written notice to the sender concerning the rejection of mail and the reason(s) for rejection. The sender of the rejected correspondence may appeal the rejection. The inmate will be notified of the rejection of correspondence and the reason(s) for it. The inmate also has the right to appeal the rejection. Rejected correspondence ordinarily will be returned to the sender. RECEIVING AND DISCHARGE: Transferring inmates will be called to R&D when their property arrives. It is not unusual for an inmate’s property to arrive 2 to 3 weeks after he arrives at FCI Loretto. If it has not arrived after being here 3 weeks you can contact your Counselor to inquire about your property. RECORDS OFFICE SENTENCE COMPUTATIONS: Sentence Computations are now done at the DSC in Grand Prairie, Texas. Sentence Computations will normally be prepared approximately 30 days from your arrival. You will receive your copy of the Sentence Computation via the 4:00 p.m. quarters mail call. Questions regarding sentence computations should be directed via “cop-out” Inmate request to staff member, to the Records Department. GOOD CONDUCT TIME: This applies to inmates sentenced for an offense committed after November 1, 1987. The Comprehensive Crime Control Act became law on November 1, 1987. The two most significant changes in the sentencing statutes deal with Good Time and Parole issues. There are no provisions under the new law for parole. The only Good Time available will be fifty-four (54) days per year Good Conduct Time, provided you have a sentence of more than one year. This is awarded at the end of the year (366th day), and may be awarded in part or in whole, contingent upon good behavior during the year. The Good Time discussions below DO NOT apply to inmates sentenced under the new sentencing guidelines. STATUTORY GOOD TIME: Under 18 U.S. Code 4161, an offender sentenced to a definite term of six months or more is entitled to a reduction in his term, if the offender has faithfully observed the rules of the institution and has not been disciplined. Statutory Good Time deductions range from five days per month to ten days per month, based on the length of sentence.

36

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 At the beginning of a prisoner’s sentence, the full amount of Statutory Good Time is credited, subject to forfeiture if the inmate commits disciplinary infractions. Statutory Good Time does not apply to life sentences or to those few inmates remaining who were sentenced under the Youth Corrections Act. It applies to a split sentence, if the period of confinement is exactly six months; a shorter period does not qualify for Good Time under the statute, and a longer period cannot be part of a split sentence. EXTRA GOOD TIME: The Bureau of Prisons awards Extra Good Time credit for performing exceptionally meritorious service, for performing duties of outstanding importance, or for employment in an industry or camp. An inmate may earn only one type of Extra Good Time Award at a time (e.g., an inmate earning industrial or camp Good Time is not eligible for Meritorious Good Time), except that a Lump Sum Award may be given in addition to another Extra Good Time Award. Extra Good Time is available to those inmates whose offenses occurred prior to November 1, 1987. CSD SUPPLEMENTS RECOMMENDED FOR INMATES TO REVIEW: INMATE PERSONAL PROPERTY, CORRESPONDENCE, INCOMING PUBLICATIONS, AND MAIL MANAGEMENT.

SAFETY OFFICE GENERAL SAFETY: Inmates should familiarize themselves with the safety regulations at this institution. Any questions should be directed to your Detail Supervisor, Unit Team, or the Safety Manager. Work injuries must be reported immediately to your work supervisor. Safety shoes will be worn on work details. Walk-mans (personal radios), personal books/magazines, or educational material will not be permitted on the job site. FIRE PREVENTION AND CONTROL: Everyone is responsible for fire safety and prevention. Inmates are required to report fires to the nearest staff member so property and lives can be protected. Piles of trash or rags in closed areas, combustible material, items hanging from fixtures or electrical receptacles, or other hazards cannot and will not be tolerated. Regular fire inspections are made by the Safety Manager. FIRE DRILLS/SMOKE ALARM: Inmates must familiarize themselves with the fire evacuation diagrams posted in all departments. Fire drills are conducted on a quarterly basis and every inmate is required to promptly respond and evacuate when the alarm is sounded. 37

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012

ON-THE-JOB INJURIES: If an inmate is injured while performing an assigned duty, he must immediately report this injury to his work supervisor. The work supervisor will then report the injury to the institution’s Safety Manager. The inmate may be disqualified from eligibility for lost-time wages or compensation if he fails to report a work injury promptly to the supervisor. If injured while performing an assigned duty, and the inmate expects to be impaired to some degree, he may submit a claim for compensation through the Safety Manager 45 days prior to his release. A medical evaluation must be included in the claim before any compensation can be considered.

FOOD SERVICE Food Service is off limits other than when meals are being served. Proper attire is required at all times. Your coat must remain open, shirt tucked in and buttoned up, and you must use a belt with your pants. Hats may not be worn in the dining hall. Loud and boisterous conduct is not permitted in the dining hall. No commissary items are to be brought into the Food Service area. No food items are to be removed from the dining hall, to include fruit. TRUST FUND & COMMISSARY Every inmate will have an established trust fund account out of which they can withdraw funds to make purchases or to satisfy family and/or legal obligations. Any outside source(s) who wish to send an inmate money can do so via a U.S. Postal Money Order to the National Lockbox (refer back to page 32 for the address). The inmate's name and registration number must be shown on the money order. Failure to do this will result in the money order being returned to the sender. Family or friends may also send an inmate funds through Western Union’s Quick Collect Program. For more information regarding either program, contact your Counselor. The weekly stamp and spending limits will be governed by periodic Bureau of Prisons memorandum updates. The institution makes available to the inmate population a coinless system called Debitek. It can be used for inmate copy 38

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 machines and photo tickets. An inmate may purchase debits on his regular shopping day. Merchandise lists are used to make commissary selections. These lists are completed by the inmate and turned into the sales unit staff on the same day. The Trust Fund Sales Unit hours of operation are posted in the main corridor. Notice that on your purchase receipts (issued every time you shop) there is a beginning and ending balance. You may use this figure to double-check your existing balance. Articles such as watches and radios may be purchased in the Commissary. A Special Purpose Form 40 must be completed and approved by the Correctional Systems Officer prior to any such purchases. If you are participating in the hobby craft program, you may purchase hobby craft items. The appropriate forms may be obtained from the officer at the hobbycraft center. You may sign a "Request for Withdrawal of Inmate Personal Funds" via the TRULINCS system and turn it into your Counselor for processing. FACILITIES DEPARTMENT The Facilities Department at FCI Loretto provides inmates with a meaningful opportunity to enhance learned skills and to develop apprentice-level abilities. The Facilities Department is responsible for the preparation of preliminary plans (blueprints and/or mechanical drawings), new construction, renovations, repairs, and maintenance of all utilities and equipment at FCI Loretto. The goal of the Facilities Department is to utilize and train inmates, while providing cost effective construction and maintenance services to the institution in a correctional setting. Inmates with construction-related skills, or those desiring an opportunity to learn a trade-related skill in any of the following areas, should request job placement in the Facilities Department through your Unit Team. These areas include: drafting, electric, landscape, garage, communications, powerhouse, plumbing, welding, painting, and construction. UNICOR UNICOR is the trade name of Federal Prison Industries, a wholly-owned government corporation established by Congress on June 23, 1934, to provide job skills training and employment opportunities for inmates serving sentences in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. For many inmates, working in Federal Prison 39

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 Industries represents an opportunity to learn a marketable skill and gain valuable work experience, both of which will substantially enhance their ability to successfully reintegrate into society following release from prison. Inmates working in the UNICOR factory here at FCI Loretto produce electrical cable assemblies for the Department of Defense, ranging from simple extension cords to more complex wire-harness’ for military tanks. The factory is ISO 9000-2001 registered. If you are interested in working in UNICOR, you must contact your unit team counselor to be placed on one of the three waiting lists. The first list is for those inmates who have previously worked in UNICOR. The second list is for inmates with significant financial obligations, in excess of $1,000. All other inmates will be placed on the third list. Inmates with outstanding financial obligations who work in UNICOR will be required to contribute fifty (50) percent of their wages toward meeting theses obligations. IMPLEMENTATION OF COURT SECURITY IMPROVEMENT ACT: Contraband includes Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Lien Documents and Personal Information of Law Enforcement Officers and Covered Persons . On January 7, 2008, the Court Security Improvement Act of 2007 added two new provisions to the Federal Criminal Code. Title 18 U.S.C. § 1521 established a criminal offense for filing, attempting to file, or conspiring to file, a false lien or encumbrance against the real or personal property of a Federal Judge or Federal law enforcement officer. Title 18 U.S.C. § 119 established a criminal offense for making publicly available "restricted personal information" about a "covered person" with the intent to threaten, intimidate, or incite a crime of violence against such person. “Covered person” includes court officers, jurors, witnesses, informants, and Federal law enforcement officers, including Bureau of Prisons staff. Documents which can be used to harass or threaten “covered persons,” including the filing of a lien against such persons, can constitute violations of these criminal statutes. Such documents are contraband and are not authorized for inmate possession. All inmates are prohibited from obtaining, possessing, or creating UCC financing statements and similar forms. All inmates are also prohibited from obtaining or possessing any documents which contain unauthorized personal information, including, but not limited to, home address, home telephone number, social security number, personal email, or home fax number of any “Covered Person” or their immediate family members. 40

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012

If you have a legitimate reason for possession of such information, e.g., you are a relative of a “Covered Person,” you should notify your Unit Staff of this fact. If you are found to be in possession of these types of documents or information without authorization, the items will be confiscated. You will be subject to inmate discipline, and your case may be referred for possible federal criminal prosecution. You may use the administrative remedy process to challenge the confiscation of rejection of such materials. DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000 On December 19, 2000, the DNA Analysis Backlog Elimination Act of 2000 (Pub. L. No. 106546) was enacted. That law required the Bureau to obtain a DNA sample from each inmate convicted of a qualifying offense. Pursuant to Title 42 U.S.C. 14135a,b and Title 28 C.F.R. 28.12 FCI Loretto staff will collect DNA samples from persons in Bureau custody who are: Convicted of any federal offense; Convicted of any Uniform Code of Military Justice; Convicted of a qualifying D.C. Code offense (as provided on a list); Arrested or facing charges (pretrial inmates); Non-United States persons who are detained under the authority of the United States who are not lawfully admitted for permanent residence as defined by 8 C.F.R. § 1.1 (b). Collection of DNA via Buccal Swab has been incorporated into the collection method.

Inmate Reentry and Inmate Skills Development Introduction ISDS Inmate Reentry and Inmate Skills Development Office Location – Psychology (FCI), Mainline (Camp – Wednesday Mainline) How to contact the RAC (Mainline, Inmate Request to Staff, or in the RAC office) What is Reentry? The BOP’s reentry initiative is to provide inmates with the necessary skills and resources to succeed upon release. Through coordinated efforts among the departments in the institution, a wide array of programs and activities are offered in order to implement reentry skills development initiatives. Inmate Skills Development

41

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 The Bureau is focusing on building the kinds of skills essential to successful reintegration into society ranging from activities of daily living, such as budgeting, to cognitive skills, such as the ability to maintain selfcontrol. This process will involve identifying inmate strengths and weaknesses using a standardized assessment tool, linking programs used to identify specific deficit areas, and tracking the inmate's progress on his/her individualized plan throughout incarceration. Developed in collaboration with other agencies, including the courts and probation, the Inmate Skills Development System (ISDS) is an automated, web-based, assessment and tracking tool used during an inmate’s incarceration. ISDS was created to help staff identify an inmate's strengths and weaknesses as they relate to release readiness. ISDS is expected to: help link inmates with the most appropriate programs given their specific needs, ensure all parties are focused on the same measurable outcomes, assist in program resource allocation, and improve information flow to partners with a stake in the outcome (the Courts, supervision agencies, etc.). Dynamic in nature, ISDS has been implemented at all institutions, incorporates information from a variety of sources, including court documents and behavioral observations. It is administered at the beginning of an inmate's sentence, with subsequent updates to the assessment information over the course of the inmate's incarceration. Output is documented in the ISD Plan, which is shared with supervision agencies. By providing inmates with programs most appropriate to their identified deficit areas, the BOP anticipates that inmates will be betterprepared and more likely to succeed upon release. This is expected to be particularly useful for those offenders with the greatest needs. A number of interagency initiatives are underway, the most comprehensive being the National Offender Workforce Development Partnership, which also includes representatives from the U.S. Departments of Education, Labor, Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development, and Health and Human Services; the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts; the Office of Probation and Pretrial Services; the National Institute of Corrections; the Legal Action Center - National Hire Network; and others. Providing a viable means of employment is critical to offenders being able to support themselves and succeed as law-abiding citizens; and this partnership is designed to enhance reentry success by increasing opportunities for

42

Inmate Admission & Orientation Handbook Federal Correctional Institution Loretto, Pennsylvania December 2012 career-oriented employment of ex-offenders and addressing barriers to offender employment. The Bureau is committed to the goal of creating a seamless transition between incarceration and the community for releasing offenders that ensures continuity of support and care. This coordinated, competencybased model for reentry is expected to help increase the likelihood of a successful community transition upon release. Inmate Reentry Skills RAC will briefly discuss the nine skill areas and the individual Departments responsibilities. Reentry Skills

Program Statement

OPI: NUMBER: DATE: SUBJECT:

OGC 1315.07 11/5/99 Legal Activities, Inmate

1. [PURPOSE AND SCOPE §543.10. The Bureau of Prisons affords an inmate reasonable access to legal materials and counsel, and reasonable opportunity to prepare legal documents. The Warden shall establish an inmate law library, and procedures for access to legal reference materials and to legal counsel, and for preparation of legal documents.] 2. SUMMARY OF CHANGES. The changes include allowing the Central Office to contact the institutions by way of BOPNet GroupWise or memorandum, rather than Operations Memorandum, to direct the ordering of law library materials. The procedures for posting and maintaining Bureau and U.S. Parole Commission Federal Register documents at institutions are revised and streamlined. These documents will be sent via GroupWise to staff responsible for the institution law libraries instead of being issued by Operations Memoranda. All references to the “Central Office Librarian” have been changed to “Bureau’s Librarian” to reflect the Librarian’s responsibility for providing services Bureau-wide. The Standards Referenced have been updated to reflect the revised American Correctional Association standards. Finally, the required publications in Attachments A, B, and C are updated to reflect a variety of changes including changes in name and title, volume numbers, publishers and publishing companies, etc. Specific changes to publications in Attachments A, B, and C, requirements for the main, satellite camp and basic inmate law libraries, include: [Bracketed Bold - Rules] Regular Type - Implementing Information

b.

Out-of-Print Military Law Reporter (Public Law Education Institute). This publication will no longer be available but institutions which currently have this volume should continue to keep these volumes on the shelves.

c.

Removal and Replacements The full-text of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines is included in the United States Code Annotated (USCA) volumes. Therefore, to prevent duplication and for cost containment, the other edition of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines published by West Group has been removed. Shepard’s Federal 2d Citations and Federal Supplement Citations has been combined into one publication, the Shepard’s Federal Citations (Lexis Law Publishing). You and the Law has been replaced with ABA’s Family Legal Guide (Publications International Ltd). Ballentine’s Law Dictionary has been replaced with Black’s Law Dictionary.

d.

Clarifications When single volumes of the USCA are purchased, the pamphlet volumes are not included. To indicate this, a notation has been added after the USCA titles in Attachments B and C for Satellite Camp and Basic Inmate Law Libraries, respectively. The Maryland Reporter and Atlantic 2d Reporter are the only required legal publications for state case law that are provided. The publisher only makes available DC case law in print format through their regional reporter - Atlantic 2d Reporter, which also contains case law for other states in that region. The Bureau is not mandated to provide state case law and other state legal materials.

3. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES. are:

The expected results of this program

Maintenance of the materials is the institution's responsibility. Materials that have been lost or damaged must be replaced with institution funding. The Bureau Librarian may be consulted to help order replacements. Law books which are not required for all libraries may be added to an institution's law library collection under the following circumstances: (1) Pursuant to the Program Statement on Acceptance of Donations, an inmate may donate an unwanted personally-owned law book to the law library; however, staff may decline such a gift. If there is a question about whether to accept a particular volume, the Regional Counsel and Ethics Officer may be consulted. Donated materials, if lost or damaged, may not be replaced by the institution or the Central Office. (2) If a person other than an inmate offers a donation to the institution law library collection, it may be accepted pursuant to the Program Statement on Acceptance of Donations. The Regional Counsel and Ethics Officer may be consulted about an appropriate response to the offer. (3) State officials are responsible for providing state legal assistance and/or state legal materials to state inmates transferred to Federal custody. Staff may not interfere in an inmate's attempts to obtain such assistance or materials.

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 6 If state correctional officials elect to provide state legal materials for their inmates, the institution will suggest the manner in which such materials should be provided. The Regional Counsel must be notified if questions arise. d. In June and December of each year, the Education Branch, Central Office will provide each Supervisor of Education an inventory checklist of required law library publications. Within 30 days of receipt, each Supervisor of Education must inventory each institution law library and list all missing or severely damaged materials on the checklist's discrepancy sheet. Missing or severely damaged publications must be replaced using institution funds. One copy of the institution's completed inventory must be kept at the institution and one copy of the discrepancy sheet sent to the Central Office Education Administrator, the Regional Education Administrator, and the Regional Counsel. e. Each institution must set aside a sufficiently large room where law library books will be kept to allow inmates the opportunity to work at tables without the need for removing the materials. Each Reporter volume becomes a permanent part of the library collection. Therefore, the site for the law library should allow for the expanding nature of the collection. f. Ordinarily, the Supervisor of Education is responsible for supervising the law library's upkeep and operation. Since legal materials are expensive, supervision of law library areas must be provided as necessary to protect the materials. The Reporter and other statutory materials and case reporters are frequently updated, and correct placement of supplements and pocket parts is important. Out-of-date supplements and other outdated materials are to be disposed of when updated materials are received. g. Institution copying equipment may be made available to reproduce materials needed for research outside the library area. When this is done, procedures should be established for an inmate to request a reasonable amount of reproduced material. It is suggested that the request form contain a space for the inmate to indicate why the material is needed outside the time that is made available in the library.

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 7 By providing enough hours for library usage and by making copying equipment available when possible, destruction and theft of legal materials should be reduced. Institutions may provide copy vending machines for inmate use. 8. MILITARY LAW MATERIALS. Several military law materials (see Attachment A) must be provided in the main law libraries at each institution. a. Nine circulating sets of the Military Justice Reporter are available through the Bureau’s Librarian in the Central Office. (1) Upon receiving the Reporter, the Supervisor of Education will place the set in the institution's main law library. (2) The Supervisor of Education must ensure that the requesting inmate is notified promptly that the Reporter is available. If that inmate does not have access to the main law library, the volumes are to be made available by alternative means, such as through a basic law library. (3) An inmate may not maintain the materials in his or her cell or as personal property. (4) The Bureau’s Librarian will fill requests for circulating sets in the order received in the Central Office. If requests exceed the number of circulating sets, the Librarian will notify the Supervisor of Education that the provided set will be withdrawn after 90 days. Ordinarily, this notification is given to the institution which has had a set the longest period of time. The Supervisor of Education must place a notice to this effect with the set so that interested inmates are advised of the time period during which the set is available. b. In addition to the nine circulating sets, a tenth set of the Reporter will remain in the Central Office Library and will not circulate. The Central Office Librarian must also maintain a single reference copy of Court-Martial Reports. (Note: This is a different publication than the Court-Martial Reports Index and Citator.)

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 8 (1) An inmate may request copies of specific cases from either the Military Justice Reporter or Court-Martial Reports by submitting a written request to the institution's Supervisor of Education. The inmate's request must include case citations sufficient to permit identification. (2) Ordinarily, the Supervisor of Education must respond to the request within five work days of receipt by forwarding the request (BOPNet GroupWise may be used) to the Bureau Librarian, with a notation of the date that the request was received. (3) The Bureau Librarian must forward a copy of the requested cases to the Supervisor of Education ordinarily within five work days, but no later than 21 calendar days, from the date the request was received. (4) Upon receiving the requested material, the Supervisor of Education must have the material placed in the institution's main law library (or other place he or she finds suitable) for use by the requesting inmate and other interested inmates. The Supervisor of Education is to ensure that the requesting inmate is notified promptly that the requested cases are available. (5) The inmate may not maintain the requested material in his or her cell or as personal property unless the inmate pays for a copy of the materials under the institution's established procedures for copying legal materials. 9. FEDERAL REGISTER MATERIALS. Federal Register documents (specifically, final rules, proposed rules, interim rules, and certain notices) pertaining to the Bureau and to the U.S. Parole Commission are to be maintained in the institution’s inmate law libraries. Maintaining these documents in the inmate law libraries is intended to ensure that inmates have the opportunity to participate in the rulemaking process. a. The Rules Administrator in the Office of General Counsel is to distribute these Federal Register documents to all institution Education Supervisors via GroupWise attachments. The Rules Administrator is to include in a second attachment, a List of Federal Register Documents available in the inmate law library. Ordinarily, proposed rules and interim rules will be listed until such time as the Bureau issues a final rule document in the matter. Final rules will be listed until the rules become available in the annual revision of title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 9 b. The Education Supervisor must distribute the attachments (either on paper or via GroupWise) to staff responsible for the institution’s inmate law libraries. Staff assigned to the institution law libraries are to maintain paper copies of the Federal Register documents along with the most recent copy of the List of Federal Register Documents. c. The Education Supervisor must forward a copy of the most recent List of Federal Register Documents to institution Unit Managers for posting on inmate bulletin boards. The List of Federal Register Documents serves to notify inmates that the documents are available in the inmate law libraries. d. The Education Supervisor must provide a copy to the President of the local union of any of these Federal Register documents pertaining to the Bureau. Union representatives may send comments on proposed or interim rules as members of the public directly to the Rules Administrator. e. The Education Supervisor must also ensure that a copy of each Federal Register document is posted on at least one centrally located staff bulletin board. Staff may send comments on proposed or interim rules as members of the public directly to the Rules Administrator, and need not send such comments through the normal “chain of command.” 10.

[LEGAL RESEARCH AND PREPARATION OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS §543.11

a. The Warden shall make materials in the inmate law library available whenever practical, including evening and weekend hours. The Warden shall allow an inmate a reasonable amount of time, ordinarily during the inmate's leisure time (that is, when the inmate is not participating in a scheduled program or work assignment), to do legal research and to prepare legal documents. Where practical, the Warden shall allow preparation of documents in living quarters during an inmate's leisure time. b. The Warden shall periodically ensure that materials in each inmate law library are kept intact and that lost or damaged materials are replaced. c. Staff shall advise an inmate of rules and local procedures governing use of the inmate law library. Unauthorized possession of library materials by an inmate constitutes a prohibited act, generally warranting disciplinary action (see part 541 of this chapter).] Part 541 refers to the Program Statement on Inmate Discipline and Special Housing Units.

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 10 [d. An inmate’s legal materials include but are not limited to the inmate’s pleadings and documents (such as a pre-sentence report) that have been filed in court or with another judicial or administrative body, drafts of pleadings to be submitted by the inmate to a court or with other judicial or administrative body which contain the inmate’s name and/or case caption prominently displayed on the first page, documents pertaining to an inmate’s administrative case, photocopies of legal reference materials, and legal reference materials which are not available in the institution main law library (or basic law library in a satellite camp).] Staff must consult with Regional Counsel if there is any question whether certain items qualify as legal materials. [(1) An inmate may solicit or purchase legal materials from outside the institution. The inmate may receive the legal materials in accordance with the provisions on incoming publications or correspondence (see 28 CFR part 540, subparts B and F) or through an authorized attorney visit from a retained attorney. The legal materials are subject to inspection and may be read or copied unless they are received through an authorized attorney visit from a retained attorney or are properly sent as special mail (for example, mail from a court or from an attorney), in which case they may be inspected for contraband or for the purpose of verifying that the mail qualifies as special mail.] 28 CFR part 540, subparts B and F refer to the Program Statements on Correspondence and Incoming Publications respectively. [(2) Staff may allow an inmate to possess those legal materials which are necessary for the inmate’s own legal actions. Staff may also allow an inmate to possess the legal materials of another inmate subject to the limitations of paragraph (f)(2) of this section. The Warden may limit the amount of legal materials an inmate may accumulate for security or housekeeping reasons.] To ensure that legal materials do not become a security or housekeeping hazard (e.g., fire, sanitation), each institution may establish a limit on the amount of, and storage location for legal materials in the inmate’s living area.

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 11 The amount of storage space provided for legal materials depends upon the total storage space available. Ordinarily, the amount may not be restricted below three cubic feet per inmate. In a segregation or detention area, the amount ordinarily may not be restricted below one cubic foot per inmate. Alternate storage areas may be provided only for storing excess legal materials. The Regional Counsel may be consulted if there is a question as to the need for bulky or excess legal material, or if there is any question regarding the applicability of the legal materials to the inmate’s own legal actions. [e. An inmate is responsible for submitting his documents to court. Institution staff who are authorized to administer oaths shall be available to provide necessary witnessing of these documents, as requested by inmates and at times scheduled by staff. See Section 16 for further instructions on administering oaths and acknowledgments. f. (1) Except as provided for in paragraph f.(4) of this section, an inmate may assist another inmate in the same institution during his or her leisure time (as defined in paragraph a. of this section) with legal research and the preparation of legal documents for submission to a court or other judicial body.] Any assistance offered by one inmate to another is voluntary. An inmate is not entitled to assistance from any specific inmate. Because no inmate may conduct a business, the assisting inmate may not receive compensation. The assisting inmate shall not be provided any privileges ordinarily afforded to attorneys or paralegals, clerks, and legal assistants, even if the inmate was an attorney before his or her incarceration. Inmates who are in different institutions are prohibited from providing legal assistance to each other except to the extent that they may be allowed to correspond with each other about legal matters. For example, immediate family members or co-defendants or co-plaintiffs may receive approval to exchange correspondence (see the Program Statement on Correspondence). Inmates who are allowed to exchange correspondence may choose to include legal material pertinent to their joint action in their correspondence. Enclosed legal material, however, is subject to inspection and can be read or copied.

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 12 Legal material which co-defendants or co-plaintiffs receive through special mail or from an attorney through an attorney visit is subject to inspection for contraband or qualification as special mail only, and may not be read or copied. [(2) Except as provided for in paragraph f.(4) of this section, an inmate may possess another inmate’s legal materials while assisting the other inmate in the institution’s main law library and in another location if the Warden so designates. (a) The assisting inmate may not remove another inmate’s legal materials, including copies of the legal materials, from the law library or other designated location. An assisting inmate is permitted to make handwritten notes and to remove those notes from the library or other designated location if the notes do not contain a case caption or document title or the name(s) of any inmate(s). The assisting inmate may also develop and possess handwritten drafts of pleadings, so long as the draft pleadings do not contain a case caption or document title or the name(s) of any inmate(s). These notes and drafts are not considered to be the assisting inmate’s legal property, and when the assisting inmate has these documents outside the law library or other designated location, they are subject to the property limitations in § 553.11(a) of this chapter.] §553.11(a) refers to the Program Statement on Inmate Personal Property. [(b) Although the inmate being assisted need not remain present in the law library or other designated location while the assistance is being rendered, that inmate is responsible for providing and retrieving his or her legal materials from the library or other designated location. Ordinarily, the inmate must provide and retrieve his or her legal materials during his or her leisure time. An inmate with an imminent court deadline may request a brief absence from a scheduled program or work assignment in order to provide or retrieve legal materials from an assisting inmate.] The law library is the most appropriate location for allowing inmates to assist one another with legal matters however, the Warden may choose to designate additional locations. Where it is difficult to use the institution’s main law library (for example, at a medical facility, a metropolitan detention center, a metropolitan correctional center, an administration maximum security facility, an administrative high security level institution, or in a special housing unit,

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 13 pretrial unit, or holdover unit), the Warden should designate another location. The need for institution security, good order, or discipline, however, may prevent the use of another location. The inmate being assisted must bring his or her legal materials to the law library or other designated location to provide them to the assisting inmate. The assisting inmate may not remove the legal materials from the law library or other designated location. Legal materials left unattended in the law library or other designated location may be disposed of as nuisance contraband or returned by staff to the owner. Staff are to consult with institution legal staff or Regional Counsel if they have a question about who owns the legal materials. [(3) The Warden may give special consideration to the legal needs of inmates in mental health seclusion status in federal medical centers or to inmates in controlled housing. (4) The Warden at any institution may impose limitations on an inmate’s assistance to another inmate in the interest of institution security, good order, or discipline.] For reasons of security, inmates in an administrative institution or unit or in a special housing unit have limited access to other inmates on those units and no access to general population inmates. Legal assistance under Section 10 of this Program Statement remains available for such inmates. [g. The institution staff shall, upon an inmate's request and at times scheduled by staff, duplicate legal documents if the inmate demonstrates that more than one copy must be submitted to court and that the duplication cannot be accomplished by use of carbon paper. The inmate shall bear the cost, and the duplication shall be done so as not to interfere with regular institution operations. Staff may waive the cost if the inmate is without funds or if the material to be duplicated is minimal, and the inmate's requests for duplication are not large or excessive.] To prevent abuses of this provision (e.g., inmate shows a pattern of depleting his or her commissary funds prior to requesting duplication of legal documents), the Warden may impose restrictions on the provisions of this subsection. In such cases, staff may request that the inmate complete the appropriate form for reimbursement (BP-CMS-21/24) for the amount of legal copies received at government expense. Commissary staff will

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 14 hold the BP-CMS-21/24 form and charge the reimbursement against the inmate's account as soon as the inmate has funds (see the Trust Fund/Warehouse/Laundry Manual.) [h. Unless clearly impractical, the Warden shall allow an inmate preparing legal documents to use a typewriter, or if the inmate cannot type, to have another inmate type his documents. The Warden may allow the inmate to hire a public stenographer to type documents outside the institution, but the institution may not assume the expense of hiring the public stenographer. Staff shall advise the inmate of any delay in the typing of which they have received notice from the stenographer. i. The Warden shall give special time allowance for research and preparation of documents to an inmate who demonstrates a requirement to meet an imminent court deadline. Otherwise, each inmate shall continue his regular institutional activities without undue disruption by legal activities.] Inmates who request time to do legal research and preparation for filing legal documents during their regularly scheduled work time may be required to do so first during all available leisure time. When such requests are made, staff may also authorize the inmate to work reduced hours. For example, an inmate may be allowed mornings to do legal research, work in the afternoons, and then use evenings for further research. The Regional Counsel may be consulted regarding such arrangements. [j. With consideration of the needs of other inmates and the availability of staff and other resources, the Warden shall provide an inmate confined in disciplinary segregation or administrative detention a means of access to legal materials, along with an opportunity to prepare legal documents. The Warden shall allow an inmate in segregation or detention a reasonable amount of personal legal materials. In no case shall the amount of personal legal materials be such as to pose a fire, sanitation, security, or housekeeping hazard.] A reasonable amount of personal legal material in segregation or detention is approximately one cubic foot. Greater amounts may be allowed when an inmate has an imminent court deadline. The Regional Counsel should be consulted before accumulation of legal materials is limited for housekeeping reasons.

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 15 11.

[RETENTION OF ATTORNEYS §543.12

a. The Warden shall allow an inmate to contact and retain attorneys. With the written consent of the inmate, staff may advise an attorney of the inmate's available funds. Staff may not interfere with selection and retention of attorneys if the inmate has attained majority and is mentally competent. If the inmate is a mental incompetent or a minor, the Warden shall refer to the inmate's guardian or to the appropriate court all matters concerning the retention and payment of attorneys.] The Warden must ensure that a list of legal resources (including attorneys acting pro bono or through an established legal aid program at the institution) is made available. [b. The Bureau of Prisons may not act as guarantor or collector of fees. As to correspondence with attorneys and telephone calls to attorneys, see part 540 of this chapter.] Part 540 refers to the Program Statement on Correspondence and the Program Statement on Telephone Regulations for Inmates. 12.

[VISITS BY ATTORNEYS §543.13

a. The Warden shall, under the conditions of this section, permit visits by the retained, appointed, or prospective attorney of an inmate or by an attorney who wishes to interview an inmate as a witness. b. The Warden generally may not limit the frequency of attorney visits since the number of visits necessary is dependent upon the nature and urgency of the legal problems involved. The Warden shall set the time and place for visits, which ordinarily take place during regular visiting hours. Attorney visits shall take place in a private conference room, if available, or in a regular visiting room in an area and at a time designed to allow a degree of privacy. The Warden may make exceptions according to local conditions or for an emergency situation demonstrated by the inmate or visiting attorney.] To the extent practicable, staff are to provide an area for attorney-client visits that ensures their conversation has a high degree of privacy. [c. The attorney shall make an advance appointment for the visit through the Warden prior to each visit; however, the Warden shall make every effort to arrange for a visit when prior notification is not practical.

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 16 d. The Warden may require an attorney to indicate where he is licensed as an attorney and how that fact may be verified. Prior to each appointment or visit, the Warden shall require each attorney to identify himself and to confirm that he wishes to visit an inmate who has requested his visit or whom he represents or whom he wishes to interview as a witness. The Warden may not ask the attorney to state the subject matter of the lawsuit or interview. If there is any question about the identity of the visitor or his qualification as an attorney in good standing, the Warden shall refer the matter to the Regional Counsel. e. Staff may not subject visits between an attorney and an inmate to auditory supervision. The Warden may permit tape recordings to be used by an attorney during the course of a visit only if the attorney states in writing in advance of the interview that the sole purpose of the recording is to facilitate the attorney-client or attorney-witness relationship.] Ordinarily, the use of any other electronic device (for example, videotape recorders or computers) are not to be permitted. The Warden may permit such use, however, if it is shown that such use is absolutely essential to facilitate the attorney-client relationship, and such use would not be inconsistent with the institution's maintenance of security, good order, or discipline. The Visiting Attorney Statement (BP-S241.013) is a sample of a statement which institution staff may reproduce locally. [f. The Warden may, at any time, subject an attorney to a search of his person and belongings for the purpose of ascertaining if contraband is present, as a condition of visiting an inmate.] Procedures for the exchange of legal documents in the visiting room should be placed either in an Institution Supplement on Legal Activities or in the required Institution Supplement on Visiting. 13. [LIMITATION OR DENIAL OF ATTORNEY VISITS AND CORRESPONDENCE §543.14 a. An act by an attorney which violates Bureau regulations or institution guidelines and which threatens the security, good order, or discipline of the institution is grounds for limitation

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 17 or denial by the Warden of the attorney's privileged visitation and correspondence rights. Acts by an attorney which may warrant such limitation or denial include, for example, the following: (1) A false statement as to the attorney's identity or qualifications; (2) A plan, attempt, or act to introduce contraband into the institution; (3) A conspiracy to commit, an attempt to commit, or the actual commission of an act of violence within an institution; and (4) Encouraging an inmate to violate the law, Bureau of Prisons rules, or local implementing guidelines. b. Unless the breach of regulations is extreme or repeated, limitation rather than a denial of visitation or correspondence rights is proper, especially where the inmate is represented by the attorney and is confronted with a court deadline. For example, the Warden may subject an attorney to a search of his person and belongings or may permit the attorney only non-privileged correspondence. The Warden shall also consider referral of the matter to the state agency regulating the attorney's professional conduct.] The Warden must consult with the Regional Counsel before taking action under this subsection. [c. An act by an inmate in violation of Bureau regulations or institution guidelines warrants a limitation by the Warden of the inmate's correspondence or visiting rights with attorneys only if necessary to protect institution security, good order, or discipline. The Warden may not deny correspondence or visiting rights with attorneys generally.] The Warden must consult with the Regional Counsel before taking action under this subsection. [d. The attorney may appeal any limitation or denial by the Warden of attorney visits or correspondence rights to the Regional Director. The inmate affected may appeal through the Administrative Remedy Procedures.]

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 18 14.

[LEGAL AID PROGRAM §543.15

a. A legal aid program which is funded or approved by the Bureau is expected to provide a broad range of legal assistance to inmates. Staff shall allow these programs generally to operate with the same independence as privately retained attorneys. The Warden shall refer a request or decision to terminate or restrict a program, or individual participants in a program, to the Regional Counsel. b. In order to promote the inmate-program relationship, the Warden shall give those students or legal assistants working in legal aid programs the same status as attorneys with respect to visiting and correspondence except where specific exceptions are made in this section and in part 540 of this chapter.] Part 540 refers to the Program Statement on Correspondence. [c. An attorney or law school professor shall supervise students and legal assistants participating in the program. The supervisor shall provide the Warden with a signed statement accepting professional responsibility for acts of each student or legal assistant affecting the institution. The Warden may require each student or legal assistant to complete and sign a personal history statement and a pledge to abide by Bureau regulations and institution guidelines. If necessary to maintain security or good order in the institution, the Warden may prohibit a student or legal assistant from visiting or corresponding with an inmate.] When an attorney requests that a student or legal assistant be allowed to correspond or visit an inmate, staff ordinarily should confirm the request by completing the Paralegal or Legal Assistant Confirmation (BP-S242.013). This confirmation should be given or sent to the supervising attorney, along with the Application to Enter Institution as Representative (BP-S243.013). The Warden may require each student or legal assistant to complete a BP-S243.013. The form may be reproduced locally. The Warden must consult with the Regional Counsel if there is a question regarding the qualifications of a participant before a final determination is made, or on any recommendation or decision to limit or prohibit a student or legal assistant.

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 19 15.

[OTHER PARALEGALS, CLERKS, AND LEGAL ASSISTANTS §543.16

a. The Bureau of Prisons recognizes the use of assistants by attorneys to perform legal tasks and, with proper controls and exceptions enumerated in this section and in part 540 of this chapter, accords such assistants the same status as attorneys with respect to visiting and correspondence.] Part 540 refers to the Program Statement on Correspondence. The special visiting/correspondence status accorded to paralegals, clerks, and legal assistants depends upon an ongoing, supervisory relationship with an attorney on an approved visiting/correspondence list. Absent any current supervisory relationship, such persons may only receive social visiting or general correspondence privileges. A request by a paralegal, law clerk, or legal assistant for social visiting/general correspondence privileges must be evaluated and considered on the same basis as requests from nonlegal persons. The Warden must consult with the Regional Counsel if there is a question regarding the status of such persons before making a final determination, or any recommendation or decision to limit or prohibit the visiting/correspondence privileges of such persons. [b. The attorney who employs an assistant and who wishes the assistant to visit or correspond with an inmate on legal matters shall provide the Warden with a signed statement including: (1) Certification of the assistant's ability to perform in this role and awareness of the responsibility of this position; (2)

A pledge to supervise the assistant's activities; and

(3) Acceptance of personal and professional responsibility for all acts of the assistant which may affect the institution, its inmates, and staff. The Warden may require each assistant to fill out and sign a personal history statement and a pledge to abide by Bureau regulations and institution guidelines. If necessary to maintain security or good order in the institution, the Warden may prohibit a legal assistant from visiting or corresponding with an inmate.] The Warden may require each paralegal, clerk, or legal assistant to complete a BP-S243.013.

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 20 16. ADMINISTERING OATHS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 28 U.S.C. § 1746 provides that an unsworn declaration under penalty of perjury may be used with "like force and effect" as a sworn declaration, verification, certification, statement, oath, or affidavit, when such action is required by any law, rule, regulation, order, or requirement of the United States. Exceptions specified in the statute are a deposition, an oath of office, and an oath required to be taken before a specified official other than a notary public. Since most documents inmates sign are pursuant to a United States law, rule, or regulation, a sworn oath is often not required. When an unsworn declaration is not sufficient, 18 U.S.C. § 4004 authorizes specified Bureau staff to administer oaths and take acknowledgments of officers, employees, and inmates. Thus, while state and local laws may often refer only to a notary public (or similar officials) because they are the only officials authorized by state law to administer oaths and witness signatures, Federal law also authorizes certain Bureau officials to perform such functions in Federal prisons. a. Unsworn Declarations. Other than for the exceptions cited above, staff need not administer oaths and witness inmate signatures on any documents to be filed in Federal courts or with Federal agencies, unless directly instructed to do so by the Court or agency. Inmates may make their own unsworn declaration on such documents by placing the following paragraph at the end of the document: "I declare (or certify, verify or state), under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on (date)."

(Signature) b. Oaths. Unsworn declarations are not legally sufficient for declarations on depositions, for oaths of office, or for oaths required to be taken before an official other than a notary

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 21 public. In addition, documents for submission to state courts and state agencies may require a sworn declaration. For such documents, it is Bureau policy to administer oaths prior to witnessing the signatures of persons executing these documents. (1)

Administering Oaths.

Title 18 U.S.C. § 4004 provides:

"The wardens and superintendents, associate wardens and superintendents, chief clerks, and record clerks, of Federal penal or correctional institutions, may administer oaths to and take acknowledgments of officers, employees, and inmates of such institutions, but shall not demand or accept any fee or compensation therefor." For the purpose of this Program Statement, institution Case Managers are considered to be chief clerks. The person giving the oath must face the oath administrator and raise his or her right hand while the administrator states: You do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear that the various matters and things set forth in this paper which you are about to sign before me are true, and that you do this under the pains and penalties of perjury. After receiving the affirmative answer, the proper stamp is to be affixed in the necessary places, and the paper(s) duly signed by parties in the places provided. (2) Administering Affirmations. Affirmations are to be offered for individuals who cannot or do not wish to swear or take oaths. The person giving the affirmation must face the affirmation administrator and raise his or her right hand while the administrator states: You do solemnly, sincerely, and truly affirm and declare that the various matters and things set forth in this paper which you are about to sign before me are true, and that you do this under the pains and penalties of perjury. After receiving the affirmative answer, the proper stamp is to be affixed in the necessary places, and the paper(s) duly signed by parties in the places provided.

PS 1315.07 11/5/99 Page 22 (3) Stamps. stamps used:

The following shall be the wording of the

(name) , (title) Authorized by the Act of July 7, 1955, as amended, to administer oaths (18 U.S.C. § 4004).

,

(4) Validity of Witnessing. Any document witnessed without the initiator's taking the oath or affirmation may be invalid. The witnessing of a person's signature in no way is a representation by the witness as to the validity of the material or its contents, but is an indication that the document has been signed by the individual whose signature appears thereon. c. Staff Responsibility. Each Warden will assign an employee to instruct appropriate personnel in the proper procedures to follow in witnessing signatures and in giving affirmations. Each person issued a stamp is responsible for its control and safekeeping, so it will not be available to unauthorized persons.

PROCEDURES.

a. During admission and orientation, each inmate shall be asked to submit a list of prospective visitors to the Correctional Counselor. b. Those individuals listed by the inmate as proposed visitors and who are not immediate family members are considered friends and associates. There will be no more than ten (10) friends and associates on the inmate’s approved visiting list. DISTRIBUTION: Executive Staff, Unit Staff, Law Library, Department Heads, Union

5267.08E June 8, 2011 Page 2 Visiting privileges ordinarily will be extended to friends and associates having an established relationship with the inmate prior to confinement, unless such visits could reasonably create a threat to the security and orderly running of the institution. Exception to the prior relationship rule may be requested, in writing, to the Warden. It is the inmate’s responsibility to prove prior relationships, at the time of request. The Correctional Counselor shall perform NCIC checks on all individuals requesting to be placed on an inmate’s approved visiting list. Additional NCIC checks shall be completed as needed at the discretion of the Unit Team. Copies of any NCIC checks being completed (even if no hits occur) must be maintained with the corresponding visiting questionnaire in the FOI portion of the central file. c. Correctional Counselors will normally prepare an approved visiting list, including immediate family members and place a copy in the central file and provide a copy to the inmate. As additional visitors are approved, the Counselor shall add them to the original list. d. The Correctional Counselor will advise the inmate of a requested visitor's approval or denial. If denied, a memorandum will be provided to the Unit Manager for review, and final decision. After the final decision is made, the packet will be placed in the inmate’s central file and the inmate will be notified that the visitor has not be approved. No information from the application, or NCIC check can be revealed to the inmate. e. When adding approved visitors on the BOPWARE Visiting Program, Correctional Counselors will include the inmate's name and register number, the approved visitor's name and address and relationship to the inmate. Verbal notification to the inmate will signal him to update his own record. f. The respective Correctional Counselor is responsible for the maintenance and accuracy of the inmate visiting list located in the inmate’s central file, and computerized visiting program. Inmates shall be permitted to update their visiting lists on an ongoing basis. Inmate’s may have immediate family members listed from the PSI and up to ten (10) friends and associates, to include other relatives. g. The inmate is responsible for notifying the visitor of the approval or disapproval to visit and is expected to provide the approved visitor with a copy of the visiting guidelines and directions for transportation to and from the institution.

5267.08E June 8, 2011 Page 3 Attachments 1 and 2, 3, and 4 of this supplement will be available in the Counselor's office for inmates to forward to their approved visitors on an as-needed basis. h. Deletions shall be effected by the Counselor in the following manner. The inmate will submit the name(s) to be deleted via cop-out. Once a visitor has been removed, they will not be reinstated for a period of six months and only at the inmate’s request. All visiting questionnaires shall remain in the central file even when a visitor has been removed from the approved list. Unless there is just cause to warrant otherwise, the investigation process need not be initiated a second time to reinstate a visitor to the approved list. 1. Special Visits (General): Special visits from members of the general public who are not on the inmate's approved visiting list must be approved in advance by the assigned Unit Manager. A special visit may not be approved until completion of an appropriate background investigation. A Special Visiting Memo (General), will be utilized for this purpose. Special visits, will normally occur on Fridays. These visits will normally be supervised by the scheduling department. 2. Attorney Visits: All attorney visits will be coordinated by the inmate’s unit team. Any documents the inmate wishes to bring to the visit must be approved by the unit team prior to the legal visit. The unit team member will inspect the documents for contraband, count the pages, and hand carry them into the visiting room. The inmate's documents will also be inspected and counted at the conclusion of the visit by unit staff. Legal visits will be supervised by unit staff. 3. Minister of Record: Inmates wanting to receive visits from a Minister of Record, will submit, in writing, a request to the Religious Services Department. Only one Minister of Record will be listed on the inmate’s approved visiting list. The addition of a Minister of Record will not count against the total number of authorized visitors on the inmate’s list, and will not be counted as a social visit. 4. Clergy: Visit from clergy (other than the Minister of Record), will be conducted in accordance with the general visiting procedures, and will be counted as a social visit. Visits from the Minister of Record or other Clergy will take place during regular visiting hours, in the visiting room.

Visiting Room Operations: 1.

The Visiting Room will operate as follows:

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and federal holidays from 8:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. In order to be permitted to visit, visitors must be processed one hour prior to the end of visiting hours. Visits for inmates in SHU will end at 1:15 p.m. No SHU visits will be processed after 12:15 p.m. During the 10:00 a.m. stand-up count on Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays visitors will continue to be cleared and processed to the other side of the metal detector. Visitors will be escorted in to the visiting room until 9:45 a.m., at which time all movement into and out of the institution will cease. Visitors will then be processed into the visiting room as normal once a good verbal count is received from the control center. No visitors will be permitted to exit the visiting room until the count has cleared. No inmates will be called to the visiting room until the institution count has cleared. 2. Camp Visiting: Visiting will be on Saturday, Sunday, and federal holidays, from 8:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Visitors for inmates housed at the Camp will report to the Front Entrance Building for Camp visits. Once the visitor is cleared by the Front Entrance Officer, they are to report directly to the camp visiting room. Visitors who do not report directly to the camp will be sent back to the front lobby for reprocessing. Inmates will be responsible for advising their visitors of the visiting times and the proper entrance to use for visiting. All rules and regulations outlined for visiting for the general population will apply to visitors at the Camp. 3. The Front Entrance Officer will verify each visitor's identity by a government issued photo I.D. (i.e., driver's license, passport, etc.). This photo I.D. will be retained by the visitor for identification when exiting the institution at the completion of their visit. 4. A visitor may not enter the institution without clearing the metal detector. If a visitor has a medical reason for not clearing the metal detector (i.e., hip or knee replacement, etc.) it is the responsibility of the visitor to provide medical documentation of this condition, prior to entering the institution. If documentation is provided, the visitors will be screened using the hand held metal detector. Prior to terminating a visit, the visiting room officers should consult with the Shift Lieutenant or Institution Duty Officer.

5267.08E June 8, 2011 Page 5 5. Every Thursday afternoon, the Front Entrance Officer shall access the visiting program to download the complete list of authorized visitors for each inmate. Should the visiting program be unavailable for any reason, staff would utilize the downloaded list to ensure only approved visitors enter the institution. The electronic files must be updated by noon, every Thursday. No other changes will be made until the following Monday. 6. The Visiting Room Officer shall first page the inmate. In the event the inmate does not report to the Visiting Room, the Visiting Room Officer will contact either the Unit Officer or the Detail Supervisor, and advise him/her of the inmate visit. Inmates reporting to the visiting room for a visit must be properly attired. Proper attire includes: institution uniform, institution issued boots/shoes or boots purchased through FCI Loretto’s commissary, belt, and proper name and register number label affixed to both their shirt and pants. Also, inmates reporting for visits are required to present their commissary cards to the Visiting Room Officer. These cards must reflect an accurate likeness to the inmate's current appearance. These cards will be used to identify the inmate when he arrives for the visit. The cards are to be returned to the inmate, after he is identified, at the conclusion of visiting and before his visitors depart. 7. Inmates and their visitors will be assigned seats. Inmates will face the visitor bathrooms, and visitors will face the Control Center. Inmates and adult visitors will sit across from each other during the visit. Children (under the age of 16) of the inmate may sit beside the inmate. Visitors exiting the visiting room will be escorted by a staff member. The staff member will check the visitor’s photo identification and verify the correct hand stamp with the black light. The staff member will then escort no more than twenty (20) adult visitors to the Front Lobby building at one time. The inmate departs with all items he entered with, as logged by the Visiting Room Officer upon his entry. 8. Each inmate will be permitted eight (8) points per month. Two points will be assessed for visits on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Federal Holidays. Visiting points will be levied against an inmate on a per visit basis.

5267.08E June 8, 2011 Page 6 The Duty Officer or Operation's Lieutenant, in conjunction with the Visiting Room Officer, has the prerogative of terminating any visit for overcrowded conditions or for improper conduct, including the violation of any rule or regulation, by the inmate or his visitor(s). Overcrowding is defined as a lack of seating. When all chairs in the Visiting Room are full, a request will be made for visitors to voluntarily end their visit. If there are no volunteers the termination process will begin. At no time will additional chairs be added to the Visiting Room. Frequency of visits and distance traveled shall be the determining factors when termination of a visit is considered. Prior to terminating a visit, the visiting room officers should consult with the Shift Lieutenant or Institution Duty Officer. 9.

The patio will not be opened for visiting at any time.

10. Vending machines are available, in the visiting area, for visitors' use. Visitors are restricted to bringing only $20.00 per adult into the institution. Inmates may consume vending machine items while visiting. Visitors will not be permitted to depart with food items and may not be in the vending area while the vendor is in the room. Inmates are not permitted in the vending area at anytime. Inmates may not handle money at any time. 11. The following items are not permitted into the institution: handbags, wallets, or any type of electronic devices (i.e., MP3 players, cell phones, recording devices, etc.) These items must be secured in the visitor’s vehicle. If a personal vehicle is not available a locker will be provided. 12. No one under 16 years of age will be permitted to visit unless accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or immediate family member who is at least 18 years of age. The only exception to this requirement will be for those individuals 16 and 17 years of age who have provided prior written approval of a parent, legal guardian or immediate family member at least 18 years of age. This written approval will be routed through the Unit Team and documented in the inmate's visiting file. Inmates and visitors will control their children, keeping them quiet so as not to disturb other visitors. After an initial verbal warning, further failure to conform to this standard will result in termination of the visit.

5267.08E June 8, 2011 Page 7 The Duty Officer and Operations Lieutenant will be consulted prior to denying any visit. A member of the Unit Team on duty should also be contacted to research the inmate central file to ensure that the visitor has not been placed on an approved visiting list. Any visitor who enters the institution must advise the Front Entrance Officer of any contagious diseases carried by that particular individual or his/her children, i.e., measles, chicken pox, body lice, etc. Failure to conform to this standard will result in termination of the visit. 13. Only two medications will be permitted to be taken into the institution during a visit. They are: Nitro-Glycerin (any form or preparation) for a heart condition; and Bronchodilators (inhalers) for an asthma condition. Visitors are responsible for maintaining possession and control of these items at all times. 14. Visitor Medical Emergencies: If a visitor should require emergency medical care, the staff member identifying the problem will contact an on-duty medical staff member (a Physician Assistant, Registered Nurse, or Paramedic). The nature and severity of the situation will be assessed by the clinician in attendance. No diagnosis will be made and no treatment will be afforded, unless the assessment indicates that such action would be life saving in nature. The only treatment offered will be the administration of CPR and/or AED services. The operations lieutenant will make arrangements for the visitor to be transported to a local hospital or a private physician for treatment via calling 911 only. The institution will not take responsibility for transportation of visitors. The visitor and/or family of the visitor, will be notified that all medical expenses related to the medical emergency event will be the fiscal responsibility of the visitor/family member. The on-duty medical staff member will produce a memorandum of the encounter and forward a copy to the Health Services Administrator, Operations Lieutenant, Safety Manager, and the Institution Duty Officer. j. Visits to Inmates Not in General Population Status: 1. Separation Cases: Any inmate who has a need for separation from the inmate population shall receive his visit in the Health Service Observation Room or an area designated by the Captain. This type of visit will not exceed one (1) hour and will be closely supervised by a staff member.

5267.08E June 8, 2011 Page 8 2. Hospital Patients: Visits to inmates hospitalized in the community hospital are ordinarily restricted to only life threatening illnesses, terminal illnesses, or, extended illnesses. If approved, by the Warden, the inmate's Unit Team will initiate the necessary paperwork and schedule the visit. A memorandum will be generated by unit management staff, designating the specifics of the visit, and this memorandum must be routed through the proper channels, (Health Services Administrator, Captain, Associate Warden, and Warden), and the final approval must be obtained by the Warden. These visits are subject to the general visiting policy of that hospital. The escorting officers will be notified when the visit is to occur and the duration of the visit. 3. SHU Inmates: SHU inmates will be assigned to seats near the officers station. SHU inmates who are separatees from one another will be allowed to visit; however, only one (1) inmate at a time. Each inmate will be afforded an equal amount of time for their visit. SHU inmates are not allowed on the patio. 4. Holdover Cases: Any inmate who is considered a holdover will be afforded the same visitation privileges as general population inmates. Visitors will be limited to immediate family members only. 5. OPERATIONAL REVIEWS. The Correctional Services Department is responsible for Operational Reviews of this program. 6.
