Correspondence: Restricted Special Mail Procedures

In this document, the Bureau of Prisons is proposing to amend its regulations on correspondence to provide for restricted special mail procedures in instances where the Warden has reason to believe that the special mail either has posed a threat or may pose a threat of physical harm to the intended recipient. Under these procedures, special mail addressed to Federal court officials, members of Congress, or, if requested, by other intended special mail recipients would be subject to inspection, in the presence of the inmate, for contraband or the threat of physical harm. These amendments are intended to provide for the continued efficient and secure operation of the institution and to protect the public.
