The CIC will conduct an emergency visit to USP Hazelton, WV, on Wednesday, October 3, 2018, to check on the safety and security of other DC men incarcerated at this facility.

On October 16-17, 2018, the CIC will endeavor to meet individually with the 107 men at USP Lee, VA, and will speak to any who would like to speak with CIC representatives during that time.

The Corrections Information Council (CIC) and The Public Defender Service’s Community Defender Division: Prisoner & Reentry Legal Services Program (PDS) held the 2018 DC Prisoner and Reentry Symposium: Envisioning a New Jail. 

The CIC has accomplished much in the last two fiscal years. View the 2017 CIC Annual Report, the 2016 CIC Annual Report, and other annual reports to learn more about the work of the CIC.  

The CIC is mandated to inspect and monitor the correctional facilities where DC residents are incarcerated, including DC Department of Corrections facilities in the District and over 100 Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities across the country.

As a part of the AUSP Thomson activation, BOP will move the Special Management Unit (SMU) from USP Lewisburg to AUSP Thomson.

The CIC wants to work with you to think of solutions to problems facing incarcerated DC residents. The CIC facilitates "Pop-Up Think Tanks" to share these recommendations with those in positions to make changes.
