Suicide Prevention

As Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, 1 am committed to ensuring your safety, the safety of staff
and the public. I am also committed to provIding you with programs and services that can contribute to
your ability to successfully reenter society. In this message, t would like to specifically address your state
of mind, an important part of your overall welt-being.
Incarceration Is difficult for many people; many individuals experience a ..... ide range of emotions sadness, anxiety, fear, loneliness, anger, or shame. At times you may feel hopeless about your future
and your thoughts may turn to suIcide. If you are unable to think of solutions other than suicide, it is not
because solutions do not exist; it is because you are currently unable to see them. Do not lose hope .
SOlutions can be found, feelings change, unanticipated positive events occur. look for meaning and
purpose in educational and treatment programs, faith, work, ramlty, and friends.
BUreau staff are a key resource ava~able to you. Every institution is staffed with psychologists who
provide counseling and other supportive mental health services. Anytlme you want to speak with a
psychologist, let staff know and they ..... 111 contact Psychology Services to make the necessary
arrangements. Psychologists are not the only BUreau staff available to provide you support. Your unit
officer, counselor or case manager, work supervisor, teacher, and treatment specialist are available to
speak with you and prQ(lkle assistance, as are the other staff In the Institution, including recreation
specialists and lieutenants. Help is avaifable.
Every day, Inmates across the ·Bureau find the strength and support to move ahead in a positive
direction, despite their challenging dn::umstances. You may be reading this message while in a Special
Housing Unit or Special Management Unit cen, thinking your life is moving in the wrong direction . But
where~r you are, whatever your drOJmstances, my commitment to you Is the same. I .....ant you to
succeed. I want your life to go for.."ard In a positive directton - a direction personally fulfilling to you, but
also a direction which ensures the safety of the staff and Inmates who Interact with you each day.

J know your road ahead Is not an easy one. Be willing to request help from those around you.

MEMORANDUM FOR ALL BUREAU INMATES

FROM:

Charles E. Samuels, Jr., Director

SUBJECT:

expectations

As Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety, security an~
good order of all 117 prisons, 38,000 staff, and 217,000 inmates. It is also my responsibility to provide
you opportunities for self-Improvement In this message, I will explain some of the ways I intend tb
carry out my duties and also explain my expectations for how you carry out your responsibilities'.
Over the past few weeks, I have reminded all staff of the BOP's core values: respect, Integrity and
correctional excellence. This means that everyone is to be treated with dignity and respect: staff,
inmates, visitors, and members of the public. You are expected to demonstrate respect as well, to staff,
to your fellow inmates and to the rules in place at the prison. You may want to reread the inmate rightS
and responsibilities information to be sure you are familiar with the expectations we have for
you. Inmates who disrespect the rules by engaging in prohibited activities (espeCially the most serious
prohibited acts including possession of intoxicants, weapons, or other contraband) pose a serious threat
to the safety and security of the institution and will be subjected to disdplinary action. Partidpation ill
any type of gang activity will not be tolerated. In an attempt to ensure the environment is safe for aJlJ
inmates who participate in behavior which disrupts the orderly running of the institution may be
considered for institutions with greater controls, such as higher security facilities or special management
units. You are expected to behave responsibly and to live peacefully with other inmates, regardless of
their background or culture.
I
,

Nearly all of you will release from prison one day and return to the community. We want you to be
prepared to be a productive, law-abiding member of sodety. Accordingly, we will help you make the best
possible use of your time in prison to learn Skills, get treatment, build a resume, etc. Regardless of ho~
many days, months, or years you may have time to serve, it is critical that you begin your preparation fo~
reentry today! Ideally, preparation for reentry begins on the first day of incarceration. The Bureau o~
Prisons has developed tools to Identify your needs and programs to address these needs, in the areas o~
education, work, recreation, health services, psychology, religious services, and more. The caree~
resource centers at every institution can help you in many ways, and the full-time Mentor Coordinators
can connect you with mentors while incarcerated who can continue to assist you after release. Staff canl
and will assist you to get on the path to a successful community reentry, but you must accept
responsibility for your own future; you must work hard at the programs recommended for you and make,!
every effort to prepare for release.
The staff of the BOP understand that incarceration can be a difficult experience and that some inmates.
are overwhelmed by feelings of hopelessness. If you or someone you know Is feeling or talking about al
sense of hopelessness or suicide, please bring this to the attention of a staff member as soon as possible;
the staff are there to help you. Seeking help is a sign of your strength and determination to,
prevail. Helping yourself or a fellow Inmate in a time of crisis is the right thing to do.

I

IIMemorandum for all

Inmates (January 27, 20121

Another area of concern to me is sexual assault. If you are being threatened or pressured to engage i~
sexual behaviors, or are fearful about being sexually' assaulted, please discuss your concerns with staff as
soon as possible. We take all allegations of sexual abuse or sexual assault very seriously, and are
committed to providing assistance to any victims. Please help us prevent this type of Inddent from
occurring by identifying problematic circumstances or perpetrators so we can take appropriate action.

I

It is my hope that you use your term of incarceration to acquire the skills needed to live successfully in
the community. We are here to help you prepare to successfully release from prison and become
productive citizen. Take advantage of the many programs that are available; get help in overcoming
problems you have faced; improve skills you have acquired previously; strengthen your spiritual or
religious connection. I challenge each of you to use each day to make a positive difference, whether'it
be for one another, the staff who work with you, your families, or communities.
