Introduction The FY 2020 Congressional budget request for the BOP S&E Appropriation totals $7,061,953,000, with 38,523 FTEs and 38,523 positions (20,446 Correctional Officers). Electronic copies of the Department of Justice’s Congressional Budget Justifications and Capital Asset Plan and Business Case exhibits can be viewed or downloaded from the Internet using the Internet address: http://www.justice.gov/02organizations/bpp.htm. The FY 2020 current services level funds necessary requirements in FY 2020. It funds increases in employee benefits and addresses increases in medical, utilities and food costs. The current services level also includes essential funding for staffing, equipment, vehicles, office and medical supplies, food, and inmate clothing, among other necessities. The FY 2020 request includes program increases for Cellphone Detection Technology ($4.625 million); expansion of Medication Assisted Treatment Program ($1 million); and development of innovative pilot projects in reentry and recidivism reduction approaches ($14 million). The FY 2020 request includes an offset of $199.4 million for Administrative Savings and $34.4 million offset related to declining inmate population. The budget also proposes the transfer of the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) funding and positions from the BOP to the Office of Justice Programs (OJP’s) National Institute of Justice (NIJ) in order to consolidate all research regarding the criminal justice system. The BOP continues to strategically assess current and prospective operations to ensure that mission requirements are met at the lowest possible cost to the U.S. taxpayer. The BOP is a critical part of the federal criminal justice system. Arresting authorities, prosecutors, judges, and community members count on the BOP’s staff to ensure that the over 180,000 individuals in our custody are accounted for at all times, treated humanely and with dignity, and returned to their communities with the training and skills they need to be productive, law-abiding citizens. The BOP must carry out its duties while ensuring its staff work in a safe environment and have the tools, training, and support they need. 1 The chart below shows how the BOP’s funds are used: BOP Funding Allocations Staff Salaries & Benefits Contract BOP Institutions 71% Confinement 88% 12% Other 9% Food Supplies 4% Utilities Medical Operations 5% & Supplies 11% The BOP’s budget proposal emphasizes efficiency, effectiveness, and quality while focusing on meeting the changing needs of the American justice system. The budget request represents the level of funding needed to fulfill its mission. Operating the nation’s largest prison system, the BOP’s top priority is to focus on the safety and security of staff, inmates, and communities.
