CHAPTER 1
MANAGEMENT OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES
100. COMPUTING THE CORRECTIONAL COMPLEMENT. A total of 364 days
is used as a base year for a 7-day post. A 5-day post is 260
days. These figures are determined by multiplying the number of
days per week a post is manned, i.e., 7-day post, 5-day post, 3day post, and etc., by the amount of weeks in a year (52). After
determining the total number of each post in an institution (7day post, 5-day post, and etc.), each total is multiplied by the
appropriate base year figures (see examples below).
In order to allow for training and annual/sick leave, a position
is calculated at 216 days per year. The subtotal (man days) is
divided by 216. The result is the number of positions required
to staff the Correctional Services Department.
Example:
`
50 (total number of 7 Day Posts) x 364 = 18,200

To determine the . authorized correctional complement for a

calculations should be clearly understood:
1. Post. A post is the location or assignment that is
actually worked by a staff member.
2. Position. A position is the actual person or persons
necessary to work a given post.
101. QUARTERLY AND DAILY ROSTER ASSIGNMENT. A quarterly
assignment roster will be prepared at 13-week intervals,
corresponding with annual evaluation periods. At institutions
which confines both males and females inmates, at least one male
and one female staff must be on duty each shift. This
requirement is not limited to correctional officers only. For
instances, the presence of case managers, counselors, physician
assistants, etc. will fulfill this requirement.

1. Rotation Policy. Correctional Officers are subject to post
rotation in accordance with the negotiated agreement.
Lieutenants will be rotated two weeks prior to the regular
assignment roster's effective date.
Probationary officers will be rotated monthly. In accordance
with the Master Agreement, probationary staff may work nonprobationary posts on overtime or on an as needed basis based on
specific needs of the institution.
2. Rosters. When possible, post titles on the quarterly and
daily rosters must reflect the duties the officer actually
performs. If an assignment's duties are widely varied, the post
can be named to identify the major duties involved, with all
duties identified in the post orders.
Lieutenants are responsible for ensuring the daily roster is
accurate. Pen/pencil markings or other alterations to the daily
and quarterly rosters are prohibited.

PREPARATION, USE, AND DISTRIBUTION OF POST ORDERS.
Post Orders must be based on Bureau and institution policies, and
must state each post's duty hours.
Post Orders must be prepared under the Captain's supervision and
direction. The Captain will sign and date the last page of each
section, and initial and date subsequent page changes. A Post
Order Master File will be maintained in the Lieutenant’s office
for availability to all staff. When a new or different
assignment is know sufficiently in advance each staff member may
request a reasonable amount of duty time to read the post orders.
Ideally, this should take place prior to or immediately upon
assuming such a post (if the nature of the post permits it).
There are occasions when there is no opportunity to read the post
orders. In these cases, it is the responsibility of the employee
to inform the employer of the fact they have not been able or
afforded the opportunity to read such orders. The employer will
then advise the employee of the general requirements of the post,
and answer any questions. Employees assuming posts under these
circumstances still have the responsibility of exercising sound
correctional judgment based upon their training and experience
and will make reasonable efforts to read the post orders as soon
as practicable.

particular post or location of the post they occupy. These
“first responder” instructions should contain specific action
steps including, but not limited to, containment, staff
protective considerations, and emergency reporting protocols.
Particular requirements regarding assaultive inmates, suicides,
fires, evacuation routes, and other “immediate” response
emergency situations should be addressed. These instructions
should be consistent with the corresponding Emergency Plan.
In accordance with their position descriptions, staff will review
Post Orders of their assigned posts.

1. Housing Unit Post Orders. The Captain and Unit Manager
will review and sign jointly all Post Orders (and subsequent
changes) for housing units under a Unit Manager's supervision.
While post orders are an assignment of work, there may be post
order changes that effect conditions of employment which may
warrant bargaining over procedures and appropriate arrangements.
Housing Unit Post Orders will direct the assigned staff member
to maintain a unit log of pertinent information regarding inmate
activity.
The Post Orders must reiterate to staff that inmates do not
have any authority over other inmates. The Post Orders must
state clearly that staff are responsible for supervising inmates.
2. Format of Post Orders. Post Orders will describe all
procedures and any special instructions regarding a specific
post. Post Orders are to contain five separate sections in the

RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Each institution is responsible for developing an
Institutional Supplement outlining tool control procedures and
inspection system. Department heads will be responsible for
implementing this procedure in their departments.
2. The following paragraphs describe the fundamentals of good
tool control. This outline is flexible enough to be adaptable in
all institutions, but is expected to be defined clearly in the
Institution Supplement.
Each institution will designate, or by selection to a permanent
position, a staff member as the Tool Control Officer. This staff
member will insure the tool inventories and procedures are
completed.

The Class AA group includes those tools deemed too dangerous to
institutional security for an inmate ever to handle without
constant, visual staff supervision. These tools must be secured
in a manner which deny inmates even the remotest possibility of
access.
This classification is for all security level institutions,
except for independent or satellite camps, and outside work
details, as long as the tools do not come within 25 feet of the
institution’s outer fence or secure perimeter.
a. Class AA tools must be removed from the institution at
the end of each work day, or stored in a combination locked safe
in a Class A tool room, the Armory, or turned into the Control
Center.
Class AA tools are identified as:

CHAPTER 3
COUNTS - CENSUS CHECKS
300.
BASIC PRINCIPLES
1. Each institution will conduct, at a minimum, five official
inmate counts during every 24-hour period. On weekends and
holidays an additional count will be conducted at 10:00 a.m.
The daily 4:00 p.m. count and 10:00 a.m. count (on
weekends and holidays) will be stand-up counts.
Institutions with secure cell space are required to lock the
inmates in their cells for all official counts, unless the
inmates are on out-counts in areas such as Food Service,
Hospital, visiting room, etc.
2. The master count will be maintained in the Control Center.
The Control Center Officer will be notified of any changes in an
inmate’s status, such as housing unit and job assignments,
admission to hospital, etc. The official count will be readily
available on the Master Count Sheet or in SENTRY.
d
we

3. Each count will be conducted with at least two officers.
There will be no inmate movement during an official count. The
count process will not be interrupted under any circumstances,
other than by an emergency. Exceptions to the no inmate movement
must be when inmates are in the wrong place for a count and have
to be moved by direct staff escort to their proper place of
count.

No
Staff must not be distracted during the count.
One staff member will count while the second staff member
stands in a position to observe inmate movement. When the first
staff member completes the count, the staff member will change
positions. The second staff member will conduct the count while
the other staff member observes the inmates. If the staff
members count totals do not match, a recount will be conducted in
the same manner. Two staff members may count simultaneously (one
behind the other) if a third staff member is available to observe
inmate movement or all cells are secure before the count begins.
If the totals do not match after the second count, the
Operations Lieutenant will be notified via the Control Center.
The Operations Lieutenant will dispatch a third officer/staff
member to the location to assist with the count. The third

officer/staff member will observe the inmates while the other
staff members conduct a double count.
4. Staff will not conduct a count based upon movements,
sounds, or configurations from a covered bed.
Staff will ensure they are positively observing human flesh
before counting any inmate.
5. The staff members conducting a specific unit count will not
leave the unit until the Control Center accepts that particular
unit count.
6. When counting at night, a flashlight must be used
judiciously; however, enough light will be shown on the inmate to
leave no doubt the officer is counting human flesh.

OFFICIAL COUNTS

2. "Out counts" will be kept to a minimum. All "out counts"
of more than five inmates must be counted by two staff members
using detail cards or inmate identification cards for
identification. Out counts will not be prepared by inmates.

No
The detail supervisor will sign his/her "out count" sheets
prior to submission to the Operations Lieutenant. The Operations
Lieutenant will sign and approve the "out count" prior to
submission to the Control Center for the official counts.
3. At MCCs, FDCs and MDCs, where there is continuous inmate
movement in and out of the institution, ISM staff will provide an
out-count of inmates who are presently out of the institution
during counts.
ISM staff will provide a count slip, signed by two staff
members, verifying ISM has documentation that the inmates are in
other law enforcement officials’ custody.
4. Each count must be reported verbally to the Control Center
for verification. If the count does not match the Master Count
in the Control Center, the reporting staff members must recount
when the Operations Lieutenant is notified by the Control Center.
If the second count does not match the Control Center’s count,
the Operation Lieutenant will order a bed-book (picture card)
count. This count requires that each inmate is counted by
identifying the inmate using the bed book picture card. At the
completion of this count, any discrepancy will be identified.

The official count will not be cleared until all count slips
are received and verified in the Control Center.
5. A Lieutenant will take at least one count on the morning
and evening shifts.
6. Count slips, out count sheets, and official count sheets
must be prepared in ink and retained for 30 days. The count must
have the names (printed and signed) of both officers (staff) who
conducted the count.
Altered/illegible count slips are not acceptable.
302.
EMERGENCY COUNTS
1. This is an official count taken at times other than that
specified for a regular official count. The Captain will

The format will not be altered; although, the size may be
increased to provide space for additional units or "out-counts."
304. CENSUS CHECKS. To ensure effective accountability of
inmates, census checks must be conducted at all institutions.
Census checks identify inmates in unauthorized and unassigned
areas.
This check is not an official or total head count.
1. Census Checks. All Departments must conduct a census of
all inmates assigned to their area during each work period (AM
and PM). It is each department’s responsibility to document the
results of each census check; for example, AM census check
completed at 8:40 a.m. with no discrepancies, PM census check
completed at 8:40 p.m. with one inmate out of bounds.
Discrepancies and action taken must be listed.
Institutions will set guidelines and procedures for conducting
the census check in an Institution Supplement.

2. Detail Accountability Checks. Lieutenants will conduct
accountability checks for all work details each month. To ensure
compliance with this requirement, 25% of all inmate details will
be checked each week.
These checks are conducted to identify inmates in unauthorized
areas, and to determine the presence and accuracy of detail cards
(crew kit cards). Discrepancies will be immediately corrected.
These checks are in addition to the AM/PM census checks the
detail supervisors/foremen conduct.
a. Accountability checks will be conducted randomly
throughout the month at various times with no prior notification.
b. The Captain’s office must maintain documentation of all
detail accountability checks for 30 days.
3. Lockdown Accountability Checks. Each institution will
conduct a monthly institution accountability check. The purpose
of this accountability is to identify inmates in unauthorized
areas throughout the institution - not to obtain a total head
count.

CHAPTER 4
EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE TO NON-FEDERAL CORRECTIONAL SYSTEMS
400. BACKGROUND. The Bureau of Prisons, on occasion, may be
requested by other Federal, State, or local agencies to provide
supportive assistance. Additionally, the Bureau may have
occasion to request assistance from these agencies.
Bureau assistance will be considered based on the Bureau's
statutory authority and expertise in the requested area and/or
the requesting Federal agency’s authority to empower the Bureau
(e.g., deputize) to provide the assistance.
With respect to non-Federal entities, Federal and state
governments often enter into contractual agreements where one or
the other houses inmates from outside its system
(18 U.S.C. § 5003). Similarly, the Bureau "lends" its Executives
to various State systems temporarily through the
Intergovernmental Personnel Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. § 4721).
015
Through its own statutory mandate and the National Institute of
/2
Corrections, the Bureau provides assistance 29 non-Federal
to
entities (18 U.S.C. §§ 4042, 4352). Additionally, the Emergency
12/(28 CFR 65) provides

401. DEFINITION. For7

following definition applies:
.
No
Law Enforcement Emergency is an uncommon situation which
requires law enforcement, which is or threatens to become of
serious or epidemic proportions, and with respect to which State
and local resources are inadequate to protect the lives and
property of citizens or to enforce the criminal law.
402. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU). Ordinarily, direct
emergency assistance to non-Federal correctional systems is
limited to those systems with which the Bureau has an MOU. All
such MOUs must be made available to the employees. These MOUs
may be stored with the contingency plans.
A MOU, entered into with local, county and State correctional
entities, is to address the issue of State, as well as Federal,
assistance.

Pg: 34 of 82
PS 5500.14
10/19/2012
Chapter 4, Page 2
Absent an MOU, ordinarily, the Bureau will not provide emergency
law enforcement assistance to non-Federal correctional entities.
An exception to this policy may be made when the non-Federal
correctional entity has exhausted its available resources,
available resources are inadequate to protect the lives and
property of citizens, and the required assistance (e.g., by the
State or other localities) cannot be obtained elsewhere in a
timely fashion. In such instances, the Bureau may provide
emergency supportive assistance as set forth in this Chapter.
In general, the types of assistance that may be provided without
an existing MOU should correlate to the typical modes of
assistance set forth in Section 404 of this Chapter.
An MOU’s intent is to provide an avenue for an institution to
respond expediently and proficiently to various types of
emergency situations by developing authorization procedures for
basic Federal assistance at the local level, while allowing for
even greater assistance, if deemed necessary, with higher level
approval.

Correctional Services Manual, have included State, county, and

2 agreements with local non-Federal
agencies for specific-7
assistance. In keeping with such
interagency cooperative arrangements, the Bureau may provide

similar emergency assistance to non-Federal correctional
No
entities.
The scope of such assistance must be established in an MOU
entered into by the institution’s Warden and authorized nonFederal correctional entity.
b. Preparation. Each institution Warden may prepare an MOU
when it is determined to be appropriate. Factors to consider in
making this determination include, but not limited to, the type
and number of non-Federal correctional systems within the
immediate area and availability of non-Federal resources to meet
the needs of non-Federal law enforcement during an emergency.
The MOU’s purpose is to anticipate possible emergencies and
detail in advance the type of assistance the institution would
provide if requested.

The MOU must specify whom in the non-Federal correctional
entity is authorized to make such a request and the local
institution’s limits on authorizing various degrees of
assistance.
c. Requests for Assistance. Ordinarily, an outside request
for assistance should come from a high-level State authority and
be approved only by the institution’s Warden or Acting Warden, in
consultation with the Regional Director.
The MOU must state that approval by the appropriate Regional
Director is required prior to providing assistance. A copy of
the MOU must be forwarded to the Assistant Director, Correctional
Programs Division, Central Office.
When advance approval from the Regional Director is not
practical, the Regional Director and Assistant Director,
Correctional Programs Division, Central Office, must be notified
as soon as possible of the type of assistance requested and any
action and/or response provided by the institution.

initial response time) and/or damages.
(3) Bureau assistance may not extend into operations such
as crowd control for general public safety projects or for
enforcing laws associated with scheduled public events. The

issues.

particular situation necessitates the use of force (e.g., for
self protection), the application of force must not exceed the
amount of force specified by the Bureau's policies.
403.
REVIEW BY/NOTIFICATION OF REGIONAL DIRECTOR
a. Review. While the Warden is the signatory authority for an
MOU, in every instance the MOU’s prior review and approval by the
respective Regional Counsel and Regional Director is required.
In conducting this review, the Regional Counsel will consider the
provisions of applicable State law.
b. Notification. Even in instances when prior approval by a
Regional Director is not required for some action under the MOU,
the Warden (or designee such as Duty Officer) must, as soon as
practical, provide the Regional Director (or designee such as
Regional Duty Officer) with a detailed description of any
assistance provided.

the State courts and who are duly detained by the State
correctional entity.
Such prisoners may be accepted for detention on a Bureau bus
(to expedite transportation to another facility) or in a Bureau
institution. Detention on a bus differs from simply providing
transportation in that the prisoner is actually transferred into
temporary Bureau custody and is subsequently supervised by Bureau
staff.

Such transfer of prisoners into Bureau custody requires the
existence of a contract which allows the Bureau to assume the
offenders’ custody (see 18 U.S.C. § 5003).
It is suggested that the MOU incorporate, to the extent
practicable, the relevant provisions of the aforementioned
statute. When feasible, a contract should be considered as an
appendix to the MOU which addresses the placement of any
individual in a Bureau institution temporarily.
Absent such a contract, the Bureau will not assume custody of
State inmates without the appropriate Regional Director's prior
approval.
c. Logistical Support. The Bureau may provide emergency
supplies such as blankets, clothing, food, and similar items if
necessary to protect the health and safety of others.

staff are competent to use such weapons, ammunition, and chemical
agents. This information is to be specified within the MOU.

If a non-Federal correctional entity requests Bureau staff to
use weapons, ammunition, or chemical agents in response to a
specific emergency, Bureau staff will do so only with the
approval of the Deputy Attorney General, unless the Director of
the Bureau of Prisons personally concludes that the delay to
obtain approval would likely result in death or serious bodily
injury to employees or inmate hostages (non-Federal correctional
entities and Bureau).
The Director, under the aforementioned circumstances, may
authorize the use of such devices and subsequently make a full
report to the Deputy Attorney General as soon as possible.
e. Perimeter Security. Bureau arrest authority is limited by
the provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3050 to making arrests for Federal

Bureau may not assist in searches for felony offenders who have
escaped from non-Federal correctional custody. Bureau staff may,
however, conduct searches on Federal penal property. In other
situations, Bureau staff may assume other duties as set forth in
this Chapter, thereby freeing up additional State or local

isolation will cause discomfort and/or injury to the canine.
Leaving a canine in a vehicle, even with the windows slightly
open on a hot day, may cause serious injury or death.
A vehicle equipped with a secure partition and an air circulation
fan is to be available to the handler.

will only be used against the driver or other occupants of a
moving vehicle when the:
Employee has a reasonable belief that the subject poses an
imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the
employee or others.
Public safety benefits of using such force outweigh the
risks to the safety of the employee or others.
As soon as practicable, medical attention must be provided to any

As long as a staff member is in continuous pursuit
of an escaping inmate, whether the escape takes

Instructions: The following impact statement is to be completed

portions of the impact statement are based on estimates, an
amended impact statement must be filed once more accurate
cost/impact information is available. Prepare separate forms for
each institution or regional office impacted (i.e., multiple
institutions sending SORT teams).
