For 2005, the Office of the Federal Detention Trustee requests $120,247,000 to house USMS detainees in private, state and local facilities.The USMS has no flexibility over the number of detainees it houses.  In 2005, approximately 77 percent of the total federal prisoner population is expected to be housed in non-federal facilities; the remaining 23 percent will be housed in federal detention facilities.  The population has grown steadily since 1996, at an average annual rate of 11.9 percent.  The Department has offset the President's detention request to reflect significant savings based on a proposed reduction from 47 to 30 in the number of detention days from the time of sentencing to commitment to a Bureau of Prisons facility.  This will lower detention housing costs and is expected to save about $34 million.       
         
Program Offsets 0 0 -4
         
The President's 2004 budget requested a 2 percent average pay raise for federal workers in 2004. However, the FY 2004 Consolidated Appropriations Act includes language granting civilian federal employees a 4.1 percent average pay raise in 2004.  The FY 2005 budget reflects the higher pay raise.  For ODT, the amount of this offset is $4,000.  The ODT proposes to absorb this cost through a decrease in travel funding.
