James O’Keefe has revealed documents, which he received from a “high-level” Bureau of Prisons whistleblower, showing the Bureau’s new proposed policies that downgrade inmate security classifications for inmates convicted of child pornography offenses and terrorists.
The internal labor relations draft, sent by Chief Labor Relations Officer Christopher Wade, outlines several proposed changes to security designation, custody classification, and offense severity scores.
“A classification system is necessary to place each inmate in the most appropriate security level institution to manage their risk of misconduct, to meet their program needs, and to be consistent with the Bureau’s mission to ensure public safety,” one of the documents reads.
The new policy changes the classification of Child Pornography offenses from a “High Severity Offense to a Low Severity Offense.”
