概要

In this document, the Bureau of Prisons is proposing to amend its rule on Chemical Abuse Programs by renaming it as Drug Abuse Treatment Programs, by expanding programming available to inmates, and by requiring participation from certain inmates. Any inmate who has been recommended for drug programming by the sentencing judge, or whose presentence investigation contains evidence that alcohol or other drug use contributed to the commission of the instant offense, or for whom alcohol or drug abuse was a reason for violation of parole or probation will be required to participate in drug abuse education courses. Further program opportunities are presented through voluntary participation in residential and non-residential programs and through transitional services. This amendment also proposes conforming changes with respect to program eligibility and inmate financial responsibility requirements and with respect to mandatory work requirements. This amendment is intended to fulfill statutory requirements to make available to inmates appropriate substance abuse treatment.
