Thank you,

I have asked to contact you about the faith-based programs.

I imagine we will need copies of the actual courses once our review process is finalized, but I think what you sent is sufficient for the present time.

Have a great night,



Please see attached a description of our "Correspondence Courses". I can email you pdfs of the actual courses if that would be helpful, please let me know. (We also stand ready to create new programming once we know the criteria.)

At the very least, we are hopeful that these existing correspondence courses will be considered as "Productive Activity" as part of Title 1 of the FSA. I would appreciate any guidance you can provide as to that as well.

Yes, I would be interested to hear more about the community mentoring program.

Thank you again,

Thank you for your email.

We are working closely with a contractor to develop a process for the evaluation of programs submitted by stakeholders and community volunteers. While we are still putting the finishing touches on that process, we would be glad to receive any written materials about Aleph programs you may have available, such as descriptions of the programs or research studies about them.

As for the mentoring item, we welcome volunteers to serve as mentors in some of our programs. For example, some of our faith-based programs rely on community mentors. If these are of interest to you, I can ask to provide additional information on how to become involved.

I hope this is helpful.

Best,



I hope this finds you well!

Dr. Sawyer testified today in the Senate that the BOP is already advising faith-based groups as to the criteria needed to for us to enter our programs into the evaluation that's going to be done as part of Title 1 of the FSA to determine the evidence based factors to reducing recidivism of those programs. We are of course a faith-based group with a longstanding relationship with BOP and with programs, and as noted in the emails below we have asked about this but I do not believe Aleph has of yet received such advice. Can we please be advised as well of this criteria and guidance?

The Director also mentioned about "mentors" coming in as part of the FSA and we were wondering if you can provide information about that as well as to how that is available to potential Aleph mentors?

Please know that we at Aleph are exceedingly grateful for the hard work the BOP is investing in implementing the First Step Act and for all your hard work in general!

Thank you!

Thank you for your email and your enthusiasm about BOP's programming and partnerships. First, let me assure you that much of what you recommend is already well underway. All facilities offer opportunities for inmates and to work and provide resume preparation classes to assist them in best describing their experiences. We also have mock job fairs and other reentry resource days with our community partners at each local facility. Other educational and vocational offerings include high school equivalency, English as a Second Language, Industry recognized certification and/or College certification, BOP certificate with oversight from an outside accredited agency, Department of Labor apprenticeships, accommodations/interventions for special learning needs, job market soft skills, and leisure time activities.

Federal Prison Industries also offers inmates work opportunities in some of the areas you mention, such as call centers.

Our Wardens are always seeking partnerships to assist the inmates, so if you know

Page 17494

EFTA00047005

or specific organizations interested in volunteering, please let us know so we can explain the volunteer process to them.

We look forward to our continued work together!

Thank you for your leadership on these issues and for the Bureau’s continued commitment to reentry! I look forward to discussing these ideas with your team.

On Apr 3, 2019, at 11:45 AM,

Good to hear from you and I am glad to hear that the event on Monday was inspiring and well received. We are very excited about some of the opportunities presented by the First Step Act. Specifically to the suggestions you made below we do intend to work more with local stakeholders and community organizations. Please note that much of this is already happening. Every institution works with the local community to identify and utilize partners to help provide apprenticeship, vocational training, and other skilled training/education. They also partner with community organizations in job fairs and job skills training. Our staff in the Reentry Services Division can provide you with more details and I am sure they would be more than happy to discuss your ideas further. I have copied them here and one of them will reach back out to you. Thanks again for reaching out.



I hope this email finds you well!

I had the privilege of being at the White House this past Monday

Page 17495

EFTA00047006

and I cannot begin to express how inspired I was by the events surrounding the First Step Act and how to build off that success. Specifically with regards to the focus on reducing unemployment for former inmates, thus helping them successfully reenter society.

To that end, and in the spirit of collecting ideas, I believe it would be an incredible BOP initiative for corporations, small businesses and chambers of commerce etc to partner in this amazing cause to give inmates the tools to succeed when released. Sort of a like a mentoring project. As you know, more than 90% of inmates will one day return to society, yet thousands of them do not have the knowledge or skills to write a resume, type on a computer or navigate the internet. Many do not know how to conduct themselves at a job interview, with basic vocabulary, nor do they know how to spell workplace words correctly.

The solution to this is obviously education. In the hope of reducing recidivism and increasing our workforce with untapped talent, corporations, small business and chambers of commerce should be incentivized to partner with the BOP to give basic courses to inmates, such as:

- Resume building inside, so that when inmates come out it's all ready to go.

- Interview skills and mock interviews should be held on the inside to prepare them with appropriate answers to explain their time gaps on resume.

- Education inside on aptitude testing; Workplace vocabulary.

- Develop programs with data entry computer software and keyboarding skills: with emphasis on general office equipment, mail room equipment.

- More Janitorial and forklift vocational certification programs inside.

- Customer service telephone and related computer software skills.

- Work/vocational programs for non labor jobs to older or disabled releasing individuals, also emphasizing the above "desk job" skills needed.

If there was a way for BOP and BOP Wardens to partner with local businesses to come in and do these programs, training and mentoring it could be a tremendous success. This should also be a part of the programming as per the First Step Act. But if there's a way to start this sooner than later I think it would be tremendous and would certainly be in line with what the President stressed on Monday that he wants to reduce unemployment for former inmates.

Thank you and G-d bless you for your amazing work!

Can we please be advised as well of this criteria and guidance?

The Director also mentioned about "mentors" coming in as part of the FSA and we were wondering if you can provide information about that as well as to how that is available to potential Aleph mentors?

Please know that we at Aleph are exceedingly grateful for the hard work the BOP is investing in implementing the First Step Act and for all your hard work in general!

Thank you!

I assure you I haven't forgotten...we are close but have not reached a final decision just yet.

Subject: Re: BOP partnering with local businesses to mentor inmates

I hope this email finds you well!

Might you have an update regarding the criteria for the FSA's recidivism reduction programs? And is there a definition yet for Productive Activity?



Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to speak and for the helpful information! As we discussed, when you are able, if you can give me a heads-up as to the when the criteria of the recidivism reduction programming/productive

EFTA00047014

activities will be coming out I would truly appreciate that.

Thank you for your advocacy to expedite the production of that criteria and for all that you do!

Best regards,

Thank you for your email and your enthusiasm about BOP's programming and partnerships. First, let me assure you that much of what you recommend is already well underway. All facilities offer opportunities for inmates and to work and provide resume preparation classes to assist them in best describing their experiences. We also have mock job fairs and other reentry resource days with our community partners at each local facility. Other educational and vocational offerings include high school equivalency, English as a Second Language, Industry recognized certification and/or College certification, BOP certificate with oversight

EFTA00047015

from an outside accredited agency, Department of Labor apprenticeships, accommodations/interventions for special learning needs, job market soft skills, and leisure time activities.

Federal Prison Industries also offers inmates work opportunities in some of the areas you mention, such as call centers. Our Wardens are always seeking partnerships to assist the inmates, so if you know of specific organizations interested in volunteering, please let us know so we can explain the volunteer process to them. We look forward to our continued work together!

Thank you for your leadership on these issues and for the Bureau’s continued commitment to reentry! I look forward to discussing these ideas with your team.

Good to hear from you and I am glad to hear that the event on Monday was inspiring and well received. We are very excited about some of the opportunities presented by the First Step Act. Specifically to the suggestions you made below we do intend to work more with local stakeholders and community organizations. Please note that much of this is already happening. Every institution works with the local community to identify and utilize partners to help provide apprenticeship, vocational training, and other skilled training/education. They also partner with community organizations in job fairs and job skills training. Our staff in the Reentry Services Division can provide you with more details and I am sure they would be more than happy to discuss your ideas further. I have copied them here and one of them will reach back out to you. Thanks again for reaching out.

Dear Acting Director

I hope this email finds you well!

I had the privilege of being at the White House this past Monday and I cannot begin to express how inspired I was by the events surrounding the First Step Act and how to build off that success. Specifically with regards to the focus on reducing unemployment for former inmates, thus helping them successfully reenter society.

To that end, and in the spirit of collecting ideas, I believe it would be an incredible BOP initiative for corporations, small businesses and chambers of commerce etc to partner in this amazing cause to give inmates the tools to succeed when released. Sort of a like a mentoring project. As you know, more than 90% of inmates will one day return to society, yet thousands of them do not have the knowledge or skills to write a resume, type on a computer or navigate the internet. Many do not know how to

EFTA00047016

conduct themselves at a job interview, with basic vocabulary, nor do they know how to spell workplace words correctly.

The solution to this is obviously education. In the hope of reducing recidivism and increasing our workforce with untapped talent, corporations, small business and chambers of commerce should be incentivized to partner with the BOP to give basic courses to inmates, such as:

- Resume building inside, so that when inmates come out it's all ready to go.

- Interview skills and mock interviews should be held on the inside to prepare them with appropriate answers to explain their time gaps on resume.

- Education inside on aptitude testing; Workplace vocabulary.

- Develop programs with data entry computer software and keyboarding skills: with emphasis on general office equipment, mail room equipment.

- More Janitorial and forklift vocational certification programs inside.

- Customer service telephone and related computer software skills.

- We *the above*

If there was a way for BOP and BOP Wardens to partner with local businesses to come in and do these programs, training and mentoring it could be a tremendous success. This should also be a part of the programming as per the First Step Act. But if there's a way to start this sooner than later I think it would be tremendous and would certainly be in line with what the President stressed on Monday that he wants to reduce unemployment for former inmates.

Thank you and G-d bless you for your amazing work!

Best regards,
