3. Performance, Resources, and Strategies The Institution Security and Administration decision unit contributes directly to the Department’s Strategic Goal 3: Ensure the Fair and Efficient Administration of Justice. Within this Goal, the decision unit’s resources specifically address the Department’s Strategic Objective 3.3: Provide for the safe, secure, and humane confinement of detained persons awaiting trial and/or sentencing, and those in the custody of the Federal Prison System. a. Performance Plan and Report for Outcomes As illustrated in the preceding Performance and Resources Table, the outcome measure for this decision unit is: Escapes from Secure Institutions. The BOP’s Escapes from Secure Institutions target will always remain zero. Consequently, the FY 2011 and FY 2012 performance targets remain zero escapes from Secure Institutions. Actual FY 2010 escapes from secure institutions were zero. The chart above includes population projections for FY 2011 and FY 2012. The population projections are based on data and information from a variety of sources including the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, the U.S. Sentencing Commission, other DOJ components, and the BOP's own information system (SENTRY). Consistent with prior years, data from the United States Marshals Service indicates that as of January 10, 2011, there were 7,735 inmates in Marshal’s custody who are either waiting designation or waiting for movement to a BOP facility. This information is provided by the U.S. Marshals Service, Prisoner Operations Division, from their Justice Detainee Information System (JDIS). Every reasonable precaution is taken to ensure that inmates are provided with a safe and secure environment in facilities according to their needs. While it is the objective of the Department and BOP to eliminate all serious assaults, the target reflects projections based on historical data and observed trends. These data represent the number of serious assaults over a 12-month period per 5,000 inmates. Due to the time required to adjudicate allegations of assault, there is a lag between the occurrence and reporting guilty findings. Accordingly, the figure reported represents incidents that were reported for the preceding 12 months ending several months before the end of the fiscal year. BOP exceeded its target with an actual of 13/5,000 serious assaults in FY 2010. However, with the continued increase in inmates, BOP’s targets for FY 2011 and FY 2012 will remain at 16/5,000 serious assaults. Percentage of Staff On-board at BOP Institutions: This measures the percentage of staff on-board compared to the authorized number of positions at BOP facilities. Managing the increasing federal prison population is particularly challenging. At the high security level, more than 70 percent of the inmates are drug offenders, weapons offenders, or robbers and another 14 percent have been convicted of murder, aggravated assault or kidnapping, and the average sentence exceeds 15 years. Also, more than 60 percent of high security inmates have been sanctioned for violating prison rules, and nearly 90 percent have a history of violence. Targets reflect minimal staffing to operate prisons and do not represent required staffing levels. For FY 2010, BOP did increase on-board staffing by a total of 1,058 staff, however, actual percentage of staff on-board at BOP Institutions was 90 percent. The President’s Budget requested funding level will support on-board correctional worker staffing at 92 percent of FY 2012 authorized baseline level, an increase of 2 percent from the estimated FY 2011 level. Medium and High Security Crowding Conditions: BOP facilities are at historic overcrowding levels, which research demonstrates leads to increase serious assaults. The focus with this measure is to manage the ever increasing federal inmate population, and providing for their care and safety, as well as the safety of BOP staff and surrounding communities. System-wide crowding is a percentage derived from dividing the number of inmates by the rated capacity (beds) of BOP facilities. Targets reflect planned beds associated with anticipated constrained base funding levels and don’t represent BOP goals. BOP’ s medium and high crowding level targets for FY 2011 through FY 2012 (based on the new and current capacity plan dated January 26, 2011) are: Medium Security Targets High Security Targets FY 2011 – 49% FY 2011 – 58% FY 2012 – 53% FY 2012 – 47% b. Strategies to Accomplish Outcomes The BOP will continue to explore opportunities to add capacity efficiently and cost-effectively through expansions of existing facilities, the acquisition and conversion of military and other properties to prison use, utilization of contract facilities and the on-going design and construction of new prisons, as funding permits. Through the intense on-going maintenance program (Modernization and Repair), the BOP maintains the infrastructure of federal prisons and protect taxpayer dollars. The BOP will continue to monitor staffing ratios, inmate misconduct, and schedule regular ACA accreditation/re-accreditation for its facilities. The BOP will strive to increase staffing to maintain safety within constrained budgets. C. Contract Confinement
