Recruitment Incentives Updated and Extended

(BOP) - The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is a career-oriented agency, offering a broad range of exciting career opportunities in a work environment that promotes integrity, diversity, and professional development. There are 122 BOP locations across the country and a listing of current openings is available on USAJobs.

The BOP is currently offering a 10% recruitment incentive for Correctional Officer positions at 23 federal prison locations nationwide.
