It is an essential guide for everyone who knows anyone incarcerated within the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and sets the standard for basic character profiles and contact information for the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Book Excerpt:
A day doesn't go by that we don’t receive email at
www.PrisonLawBlog.com or at www.PrisonEducation.com from a friend, family
member, or from an attorney representing a federal prisoner who is seeking the
proper mailing address for a federal prisoner or official contact information
for a specific federal prison. It would be helpful if the Federal Bureau of
Prisons would publish a hardcopy version of this basic information.
Unfortunately, it is only available for those who are technologically savvy
enough to locate the information on the Federal Bureau of Prisons' website –
if, in fact, the seeker knows that this is where to go.
The Directory of Federal Prisons, envisioned as a
solution to this problem, is an inexpensive, regularly updated, quick reference
guide to contact information and basic character profiles for every prison
within the Federal Bureau of Prisons, including private prisons which house
federal prisoners. While this information is generally static -- other than
population numbers, that is -- it must be updated periodically to reflect local
policy revisions that impact information, such as the inmate correspondence
address and new prisons being built (or, in the case of private prisons, new
contracts awarded or old contracts not renewed).
Our solution is a concise directory containing
official contact information, inmate correspondence addresses, and other basic
character profile information about each federal prison, such as the gender of
the inmates, security level, federal district, population number, and adjacent
satellite prison camp, if there is one, etc.
The reader can simply flip to the regional chapter
containing the federal prison in question and locate the specific prison in an
alphabetical listing. That’s it. All the information is there. It is that easy
to use.No more digging through the Federal Bureau of Prisons' website or
purchasing expensive legal texts or worry about losing contact with a family
member, friend, or client.
To make the information even more accessible, we
have cross-referenced the listing of prison facilities in six appendices, five
of which further categorize every federal prison to make locating them within
the text even easier.
• Appendix 1 divides every federal prison by BOP
region,
• Appendix 2 provides an alphabetical list of all
federal prisons listed in the directory,
• Appendix 3 lists every federal prison which
houses female prisoners, and does this by the BOP region in which it is
contained,
• Appendix 4 divides all federal prisons by
security level. And,
• Appendix 5 provides a list of every satellite
prison camp, also divided by BOP region, and the gender of prisoners housed
therein.
Each appendix provides an additional vehicle for
locating information about the federal prison which our reader seeks, in a
format that they find easiest to use.
On a cautionary note, some of the information
will, of course, change. For this reason, we plan to update the text
periodically. If you, our reader, locate errors or outdated information, please
feel free to contact us at www.PrisonLawBlog.com. We will gladly make the
updates and we will provide you with a free copy of the next edition of the
text.
The authors push forward, shoulder to shoulder
with our readers, in the struggle for a criminal justice system which will be
more equitable and innovative and which will transcend locked doors, shattered
lives, and broken families. We are with you. You are not forgotten.
