Facilities with 31 or more federal offenders will have at least one full and three unannounced interim monitoring visits every twelve months.
TYPES OF OFFENDERS - The BOP places several types of offenders in a RRC. There are many variables which determine the type and how an offender is placed and programmed in a RRC. To avoid confusion, the contractor should consider two broad categories, BOP and USPO cases. It is important to understand which case xiv the offender is assigned because of the differences in programming. The RRM will provide direction in this regard.
Confinement of all BOP cases is reimbursable. Confinement of USPO cases is reimbursable. The RRM can answer questions regarding reimbursable offenders.
A. Condition of Supervision Placement - Offenders under conditions of probation or supervision by the Court, or parole or mandatory release supervision by the U.S. Parole Commission may be ordered to reside in a RRC for a period of time. These placements are USPO cases.
B. Community Confinement - Offender who is in BOP custody who resides in a RRC and participates in gainful employment, employment search efforts, community service, vocational training, treatment, educational programs, or similar facility approved programs as a condition of supervised release or probation.
C. Intermittent Confinement - Intermittent Confinement offender is in BOP custody who is sentenced to reside in a RRC during nights, weekends, or other intervals.
D. Institution Transfers - A BOP case who has transferred from a federal institution and is completing the last portion of their sentence.
UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS - As defined by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services, are a set of precautions designed to prevent transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and other blood borne pathogens when providing first aid or health care. Under universal precautions, blood and certain body fluids of all patients are considered potentially infectious for HIV, HBV and other blood borne pathogens.
U.S. PROBATION OFFICER (USPO) - An officer of the United States District Court, who is responsible for supervising USPO federal offenders.
VIOLENT CRIME CONTROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT ACT (VCCLEA) - For the purpose of this SOW, the RRM will identify VCCLEA cases to the contractor with specific instructions.
INTRODUCTION
The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) provides community-based residential and nonresidential correctional services through contractual agreements with state, county, and city governments, as well as private contractors.

The BOP’s mission is to protect society by confining offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost efficient, appropriately secure, and provide work and other self-improvement opportunities to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens.

Residents are encouraged to maintain family and community ties through correspondence, visitation and planning for eventual release, through participation in pre-release classes, and other programs. Residents have the obligation to honor their debts and begin payment while confined. Each resident is personally responsible for taking advantage of available RRC programs.

The contractor will comply with and implement any applicable changes to BOP policy, Department of Justice (DOJ) regulation, Congressional mandate, federal law or Presidential Executive Orders.
