Organization, Mission and Functions Manual Federal Bureau of Prisons BOP Organizational Chart

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) manages federal prisons, and community-based facilities that provide work and opportunities to assist offenders.

The BOP receives all prisoner transfer treaty inmates sent from foreign countries, even if their crimes would have been tried in state, DC, or territorial courts if committed in the United States.

If an individual is listed as "Released" or "Not in BOP Custody" and no facility location is indicated, the inmate is no longer in BOP custody, however, the inmate may still be in the custody of some other correctional/criminal justice system/law enforcement entity, or on parole or supervised release.

Federal Inmates Our inmate population consists of people awaiting trial for violating federal laws or those who have already been convicted of committing a federal crime. Due to a law passed in 1997, we also confine offenders who have been convicted of a felony in the District of Columbia. Under certain agreements and special circumstances, we may also house state inmates.
