A federal facility in Pennsylvania, Lewisburg, has failed to take necessary steps to mitigate suicide risks among inmates, contradicting BOP policies and inspector warnings.
The Bureau of Prisons is facing an ongoing nationwide staffing crisis that significantly affects the safety and healthcare quality for the over 1,100 inmates at Lewisburg.
The Office of the Inspector General repeatedly pointed out that housing inmates in single cells can drastically increase suicide risks, yet this practice remains prevalent.
Despite the BOP making some improvements, the condition of healthcare, security infrastructure, and employee conduct at Lewisburg remain serious concerns as outlined in the latest reports.
