Federal Prison Construction
Plans Should Be Better
Developed And Supported
Bureau of Prisons
Department of Justice
In response to a Presidential directive, the
Bureau of Prisons developed a long-range plan
in 1970 for improving the Federal Prison
system. This included a program for con-
structing 66 additional facilities, including 31
small youth community facilities, at an esti-
mated cost of $670 million. As of June 30,
1975, the size of the construction program
had been reduced to 34 facilities, including 7
satellite camps, at an estimated cost of $460
million of which $111 million had been
appropriated by the Congress.
GAO discusses the information the Bureau
uses to determine how many and what types
of prisons are needed. Notwithstanding an
apparent need for additional facilities, GAO
believes improvements should be incorporated
in the planning process and several recommen-
dations for improvements have been made to
the Attorney General. t
