Description:
The Office of the Federal Detention Trustee was
established and activated in September 2001 by
directive of Congress (Pub.
L. 106-553, § 166, 114 Stat. 2762 (2000))
in response to growing concerns regarding Federal
detention. The Federal Detention Trustee leads
the development of Department of Justice detention
policy and manages Federal detention resources
to maximize available detention space and contain
costs associated with the detention of criminal
defendants and aliens awaiting adjudication and/or
removal from the United States. Additionally,
the Federal Detention Trustee ensures that the
Department of Justice provides safe, secure, and
humane detention services and will work with the
U.S. Marshals Service and Immigration and Naturalization
Service to identify emerging detention-related
problems and project future detention space needs.
