Recommendation Number Significant Recommendation Recommended Questioned Costs Recommended Funds for Better Use Additional Details
6 No $0 $0 Status as of March 31, 2025

Require the NGU to conduct an annual analysis that tracks population growth and other key
trends within its gang populations so that it can more effectively assign its resources to address the
most pressing threats. This recommendation can be implemented in concert with our earlier
recommendation that the BOP implement a formal strategy for NGU oversight assignments to
better ensure there are no gaps in its coverage of the highest risk gangs.

10 No $0 $0 Status as of March 31, 2025

Consider providing information about the disassociation process in inmate handbooks or
through other avenues available to all inmates without singling out any particular inmate or group
of inmates. The BOP should also consider whether it could improve the process for inmates to
make initial inquiries related to disassociation requests so that interested inmates could more safely
seek information.

12 No $0 $0 Status as of March 31, 2025

Develop clear guidance for its gang-related intelligence gathering and information sharing
operations that include robust management oversight.

13 No $0 $0 Status as of March 31, 2025

Develop a specialized, intelligence-focused training plan for its staff members who are tasked
with identifying and disseminating gang-related risks across BOP institutions and among external
law enforcement agencies.
