Administrative Remedy Program

The Administrative Remedy Program is a process by which inmates in a federal prison can seek formal review of an issue which relates to any aspect of their confinement, if less formal procedures have not resolved the matter. This Program applies to any inmate confined in a federal prison operated by the Bureau of Prisons or to inmates designated to contracted Community Corrections Centers (Halfway Houses or CCCs) under Bureau of Prisons responsibility. It also applies to former inmates for issues that arose during their confinement. It does not apply to inmates confined in other non-federal facilities.

An inmate may not use this Program to submit a Request or Appeal on behalf of another inmate. This program is intended to address concerns that are personal to the inmate making the Request or Appeal, but shall not prevent an inmate from obtaining assistance in preparing a Request or Appeal. Prison Consulting Group is an expert at preparing Administrative Remedy Requests at all levels of the Administrative Remedy Process for all inmates in any federal prison. Requests or Appeals will not be accepted under the Administrative Remedy Program for claims for which other administrative procedures have been established, including Tort Claims, Inmate Accident Compensation Claims, and Freedom of Information or Privacy Act Requests.

The Administrative Remedy Program is a four step process. The steps must be taken in the correct order. If your Appeal is resolved in your favor, the process is stopped. If the Appeal is not resolved in your favor, you may proceed to the next step. The first step is called Informal Resolution and a BP-8 ½ form is completed with all the accompanying documentation and turned into the Corrections Counselor in your federal prison. The second step, if needed, is called the Request for Administrative Remedy and a BP-9 form is completed with all the accompanying documentation and is submitted to the Warden of your federal prison. The third step, if needed, is called the Regional Administrative Remedy Appeal and a BP-10 form is completed with all the accompanying documentation and is submitted to the Regional Director. The fourth and final step, if needed, is called the Central Office Administrative Remedy Appeal and a BP-11 form is completed with all the accompanying documentation and is submitted to the BOP Central Office in Washington, DC.
