New Version of BOP Legal Resource Guide Now Available

The 2008 version of the "Legal Resource Guide to the Federal Bureau of Prisons" is now available on the BOP's website. The publication "provides a general overview of the BOP, its services, and its programs[,]" and "is intended to serve as a guide to legal resources, including relevant statutes, regulations, policy documents, and current case law concerning issues the BOP faces today." In other words, a useful document to consult when dealing with the BOP.

Note that the Legal Resource Guide is not the same thing as the BOP's "Program Statements," which are detailed statements of BOP policy. You can browse the Program Statements here.
