2015-01-22; vol. 80 # 14 - Thursday, January 22, 2015 80 FR 3168 - Communications Management Units
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Bureau of Prisons Final rule. This rule is effective on February 23, 2015. 28 CFR Part 540 Summary In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) finalizes regulations that establish and describe Communications Management Units (CMUs) by regulation. The CMUs regulations serve to detail the specific restrictions that may be imposed in the CMUs in a way that current regulations authorize but do not detail. CMUs are designed to provide an inmate housing unit environment that enables staff monitoring of all communications between inmates in a Communications Management Unit (CMU) and persons in the community. The ability to monitor such communication is necessary to ensure the safety, security, and orderly operation of correctional facilities, and protection of the public. These regulations represent a “floor” beneath which communications cannot be further restricted. The Bureau currently operates CMUs in two of its facilities. This rule clarifies existing Bureau practices with respect to CMUs.

GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Bureau of Prisons Final rule.
