WHO WE ARE:
The Federal Bureau of Prisons
It is the mission of the Federal Bureau of Prisons to protect society by confining residents in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately secure, and that provide work and other self-improvement opportunities to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens.
Our programs function as centers of training for living. Productive lives can result from proper training and example. The success of the Agency is directly related to the training, counsel, example and leadership provided. To the extent the Agency has personnel of good character and high qualifications, who model justice, self-control, generosity, honesty, respect for the law, loyalty and hard work, these qualities can be passed on to the people we serve. We have high expectations of staff and participants and encourage both to continue learning. We want to model good character for the people we serve and also provide the example of positive growth and change.

Rodney’s biggest regret when he went to prison was that he wouldn’t be around to protect and guide his little brother, Mikey. When Rodney was given the option to go to Golden State, it was his chance to see his little brother again because the staff there encouraged family to visit. Mikey visited Rodney several times a week. At first it was hard for Rodney to ask for help from staff but it was knowing that he had to be a role model for his little brother that kept him moving forward and making progress. Eventually Rodney was released to Home Confinement and he served the remainder of his sentence at home with Mikey. He still walks his brother home each day from school and Mikey is proud that he helped his brother get his life together.
Visiting
The program encourages and supports all residents having regular contact with family, friends and other parties supportive of their goals.
