The Director of the FBP addresses the reduction in the Federal prison population and notes that the problem of overcrowding was significantly diminished by the establishment of two new camps on the sites of deactivated military installations in Big Spring, Tex., and Boron, Calif. The decline in prison population is said to have resulted from a shift in prosecution policy to focus on white-collar and organized crime, public corruption, and major narcotics violations. Finally, some of the FBP programs are reviewed, including working with jurisdictions to alleviate institutional overcrowding and unconstitutional conditions. The Chairman of the U.S. Parole Commission describes the Commission's efforts to reduce unnecessary uncertainty in the setting of release dates, and he also reports on the implementation of the presumptive parole plan. The director of the Commission elaborates on the statute that permits termination of parole supervision after 2 years. The appendix contains the addresses of FBR institutions and community treatment centers, a map of the Federal prison system, a chart of the Federal correctional system, and the FBR's plan for 1981-85.
