Today Attorney General Pamela Bondi, @BOPDIRMarshall, @BOPDEPDIRSmith, and Secretary Doug Burgum visited Alcatraz, marking a major step in determining the viability of bringing this legendary prison back to life. With President Donald J. Trump' full backing, the Bureau of Prisons' mission is clear: leave no stone

It was truly an honor to address such a dedicated and inspiring group of graduates. Your hard work and commitment have brought you to this incredible milestone, and I’m excited to see all the great things you will accomplish ahead. You will shape the future!

I had a wonderful time at FMC Lexington with an inspiring group of women. Loved the desserts from Food Service! The Culinary Arts program builds real-world skills and certifications to prepare women for success after release. #CulinaryArts #SecondChances #FMCLexington

I enjoyed the 2025 E.R. Cass Correctional Achievement Awards Banquet, celebrating top leaders in the correctional industry. I appreciated the opportunity to meet and hear from retired BOP leaders during my time at American Correctional Association Correctional Leaders Assn, as well as reconnect with friends.

Several hours were spent by Joshua J. Smith, BOP Deputy Director at FCI Memphis and its Satellite Prison Camp meeting with staff to discuss staffing challenges, infrastructure issues, and the recent progress they have made. Staff have remained resilient and dedicated to the purpose and mission

Listening and learning from our dedicated staff is the key to meaningful change. Thank you, @IamSteveHarvey and @Damonwest7, for visiting #FCIAtlanta to hear their needs and inspire our team. Your presence sparked motivation and renewed our commitment to making a positive impact.

NO EXCUSES. NO ROADBLOCKS. JUST BETTER The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward. For too long, outdated policies and contract agreements have prevented progress and blocked improvements for staff. Today, the Master Agreement with the Council of Prison Locals has been terminated.
