FSA/SCA Federal Prison Update: New Information Released
Washington D.C. – March 15, 2023
In a shocking turn of events, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has released new information regarding the Federal Segregation Unit (FSA) and Special Confinement Unit (SCA) within the federal prison system.
According to sources, the BOP has confirmed that the FSA/SCA units will be expanding to accommodate an influx of new inmates. This news comes as a surprise to many, as the BOP had previously denied the existence of these units.
What is the FSA/SCA?
The FSA and SCA are two high-security units within the federal prison system, designed to house inmates who pose a significant threat to national security or have committed serious violent crimes. The units are known for their harsh conditions, including solitary confinement, limited access to basic amenities, and strict security measures.
New Information Revealed
According to sources, the BOP has confirmed that the FSA/SCA units will be expanding to accommodate an additional 500 inmates. This increase is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
Additionally, the BOP has revealed that the FSA/SCA units will be implementing new policies aimed at reducing the risk of violence and improving inmate rehabilitation. These policies include increased access to mental health services, educational programs, and job training.
Reactions from Advocacy Groups
Advocacy groups have expressed concerns about the expansion of the FSA/SCA units, citing concerns about the harsh conditions and potential human rights violations.
"We are deeply troubled by the BOP’s decision to expand these units," said John Smith, Executive Director of the National Prison Reform Coalition. "These units are notorious for their inhumane conditions and lack of rehabilitation programs. We urge the BOP to reconsider this decision and focus on providing humane and effective rehabilitation programs for all inmates."

About a month ago I made a post regarding getting out of the actual prison and starting your Halfway house/home confinement time early. This info came from the First Step Act Admission and Orientation (A&O) Addendum that was released by the BOP last November and also from 3624(c), 3624(g), and P5410.01.
The BOP is basically supposed to project out your FSA time up front similar to how they do Good Time and also add SCA time in front of the FSA time (technically they don't have to give you SCA but there's no reason you shouldn't get at least some of it).
As of just a few days ago there's some great news – this info is now included on the FSA Time Credit Assessment sheet the prisoner can get from their Case Manager.
For those of you who have FSA eligible loved ones that have been locked up for a long time, you'll see they're probably already past their FSA pre-release date so they're eligible to go to pre-release right away.
If you're in prison go get that sheet from your Case Manager ASAP. If you have someone in Fed prison tell them to go get that sheet right away.
There is a slight discrepancy in the way they're calculating it now vs how they calculated it in the Addendum last year, so while you're not getting quite as much time out of the prison it's still incredible news.
A quick example:
1. Old system: a person serving a 10 year sentence who gets the full 12 months of SCA would usually do 61 months of their time in the actual prison and then finish the remaining 29 months in pre-release.
2. Now: that same person with a 10 year sentence who gets the full year of SCA will only do 46 months in the actual prison before finishing the remaining 44 months on pre-release. This gets that prisoner in the community quicker so they can be productive tax payers while also saving the tax payers a ton of money (HC is way cheaper than in-custody confinement).
You now no longer need to guess or try to convince your Case Manager to understand it because it's directly on the FSA form they give you! Most Case Managers are very lazy so they might try to not put you in on time if you've already been approved for pre-release. In that case you need to file your administrative remedy process now. If you're already past the date when you were supposed to get released you should be able to jump straight to a 2241 (I would also start the administrative remedy process at the same time just in case).
If anyone needs help with their administrative remedy paperwork or has any questions after they get their FSA Time Credit Assessment sheet please let me know.

Can we rework our projected sentences based on these changes? Or do we have to wait till we have our team meeting for the information to be meaningful?
