Program Improvements Pos. FTE Amount

Activate New Facilities.. 2,727 2,363 $251,978

An increase of $251,978,000 and 2,727 positions is requested for the activation of 7 facilities (8,000 beds) scheduled to open in 2004. These facilities include 4 medium security facilities and 3 high security facilities. Activation of the medium security facilities in Victorville, CA; Forrest City, AR; Herlong/Sierra, CA; and Williamsburg, SC will add a total of 4,864 beds; and the high security facilities in Hazelton, WV; Canaan, PA; and Terre Haute, IN will add a total of 3,136 beds.

Counterterrorism Project 2 2 23,000

An increase of $23,000,000 is requested for physical security upgrades at an existing facility. These upgrades would include enhancements to the perimeter security and the construction of 16 maximum isolation cells, to increase capabilities to house terrorist inmates.

Contract Confinement.. ... ... 12,900

An increase of $12,900,000 is requested for the BOP to obtain 440 additional beds in contract facilities to house female inmates. These resources are offset by the proposed rescission of prior year construction funds.

Transitional Drug Treatment Program.. 12 6 427

An increase of $427,000 is requested to support a community transitional drug treatment program for approximately 16,500 inmates who will be eligible for the program in 2004. These resources are requested to bring BOP to its treatment threshold as required by the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994.

Program Offsets

Crosscutting Efficiencies.. ... ... -16,811

These reductions consist of one-time needs for computers and furniture, and anticipated savings that will result from efficiencies. Some of the areas targeted for savings include: Facilities Management, JCN/WAN IT, Human Resources, and Centralized Procurement. The Department continues to evaluate its programs and operations with the goal of achieving across-the-board economies of scale that result in increased efficiencies, reduced duplication of efforts, and cost savings. The crosscutting savings identified impact the majority of the components in the Department, and are the result of improving business practices in the following way: consolidation of facility management, including optimization of work space standards and the consolidation/collocation of field space; improved deployment of human resources personnel across Department components; the consolidation of duplicative IT support functions and services performed by components using the JCN WAN; and centralized procurement for relocation of services, including household storage/shipment and residence contracts.

Criminal Alien Requirements (CAR-III) Contract Confinement ... ... -28,000

A reduction of $28,000,000 in the contract confinement Criminal Alien Requirements (CAR) III program is included the

FY 2004 request. Earlier U.S. Courts statistics indicated a reduced rate of growth in these cases.

Proposed Rescission

Rescission of New Construction Funding ... ... [-$187,900]

The Administration is proposing a rescission totaling $187.9 million, to be derived from prior year unobligated balances and some construction funds requested in FY 2003. The rescission recognizes BOP's ongoing success in shortening the construction period and reducing costs through implementation of its design/build method. This proposal rescinds small amounts of site and planning funds from several new construction projects, including female facilities in Northern Florida and North Carolina, and male facilities at FCI Northeast, FCI Midwestern, FCI Mid- Atlantic, FCI Western, FCI South Central, and USP Northeast. In addition, the proposal rescinds construction funds for a Mid-Atlantic medium security facility for male inmates and a female unit in Hazelton, WV. The BOP will use $12,900,000 of the rescinded funds for contract confinement beds to house female inmates.
