Component 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.
