The mission of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) is to protect society by confining offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately secure, and that provide work and other self-improvement opportunities to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens. The Bureau has 122 prisons of various security levels, offering programming in many different areas including drug treatment, trauma services, and evidence-based programming, such as the Bureau Rehabilitation and Values Enhancement (BRAVE) Program. The BRAVE Program is designed to facilitate favorable institutional adjustment among young, first-time Federal offenders serving lengthy sentences. The BRAVE Program is a six-month residential cognitive-behavioral program created to help inmates adjust to prison successfully. It is currently located at two Bureau facilities: Federal Correctional Institution (FCI), Beckley, West Virginia; and FCI Victorville, California. To qualify for the program, inmates must be 32 years of age or younger, have a sentence of at least 60 months, and be a first-time Bureau commitment. The purpose of the current project is to conduct research exploring the effectiveness of the BRAVE Program on prison adjustment and inmate behavior.
