BY THE U S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE


Report To The Attorney General











The Bureau Of Prisons Can Take Certain

Actions To Make Sure Its Correctional Training

Is Both Relevant And Cost Effective


After reviewing certain aspects of the
Bureau of Prisons' training programs, GAO
believes that

--more firearms training could be provided
  to employees who are most likely to use
  weapons;

  --the results of the Bureau's self-defense
  training program need to be assessed;
  and

  --the Bureau should be exploring alter-
  natives to providing centralized training
  to all first-year staff.

  In commenting on a draft of this report, the
  Department of Justice was reluctant to
  accept any of GAO's recommendations,
  stating that GAO did not adequately consider
  the specialized nature of correctional work.
  GAO has modified certain of its recom-
  mendations, but it does not believe that the
  Department's comments adequately justify
  dismissing them entirely.
