The Statement of Work (SOW) details the requirements for operating a Residential Reentry Center (RRC) by contractors for federal residents in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) or under U.S. Probation supervision. The objective is to provide community-based services that facilitate the transition from incarceration to community reintegration, ensuring safety, humane environment, and opportunities for personal growth.
The document outlines administration, personnel requirements, facility compliance, safety protocols, and training obligations. Key elements include the contractor’s responsibility for hiring qualified staff, maintaining a secure environment, and offering comprehensive services, including medical care, job placement, and skill-building programs. The contractor must establish operational policies, ensure adherence to local and federal regulations, and maintain transparency with the BOP through regular reporting and inspections.
Critical staff positions, training programs, and management of financial aspects are specified to enhance accountability and operational integrity. The SOW underscores the importance of community relations, requiring contractors to foster partnerships and continually educate both residents and the public about the RRC’s mission. Compliance with employee conduct standards, including measures against sexual abuse and drug use, is mandatory to uphold the facility’s integrity and accountability during contract execution.
