Federal prisons across the U.S. are grappling with severe staffing shortages, leading to increased lockdowns and limited inmate access to educational and rehabilitation programs. The BOP is under pressure to address the issue and ensure the safety of both inmates and staff.

A recent report highlights that many federal prisons are dealing with significant staffing shortages. This has resulted in extended lockdowns and limited access to educational and rehabilitation programs for inmates. The Bureau of Prisons is being called upon to resolve this issue to maintain facility safety and operations.
