Abstract
The men and women leaving federal prison continue to reoffend at an unacceptably high rate. The authors here argue that such outcomes are unlikely to improve due to a host of structural, bureaucratic, and cultural differences between the federal Bureau of Prisons and the federal judiciary. The article explores in detail some of challenges confronting the BOP, the “discontinuity of care” between the respective branches of government, as well as limitations facing U.S. Probation. The authors conclude with recommendations on how restructuring the current organizations and statutory authorities might allow for both a greater infusion of resources to as well as a closer level of monitoring of those being released from federal prison.
