(BOP) - On January 31, 2023, after a months-long collaboration, staff from the Bureau's Central Office, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Office, FCI Cumberland, and the National Union hosted a correspondent from Government Executive to tour and interview staff at FCI Cumberland to get an inside view on "A Day in the Life of a Correctional Officer." The project highlighted some of the challenges the agency faces while shedding some much-needed positivity on the amazing work our employees do every day.
As a courtesy, Government Executive has allowed us to share the article, It's Not Just Club Fed': A Day Inside One Facility in the Strained Federal Prisons System." The correspondent also participated in a companion podcast, "Inside a Federal Prison Facility," where she discusses her visit to FCI Cumberland.
The Office of Public Affairs would like to extend a special thanks to the hardworking and dedicated employees at FCI Cumberland, Local 4010, the Council of Prison Locals C-33, and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Office.
