    Duties

    The Federal Correctional Complex (Complex), Terre Haute, Indiana, is part of the Consolidated Legal Center (CLC), Terre Haute, IN. The Complex is comprised of the United States Penitentiary (USP), Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) and Federal Prison Camp. USP Terre Haute contains the Special Confinement Unit, which houses inmates who have received a Death sentence in the Federal Court system. The legal practice at the Complex covers a wide variety of issues focusing on correctional law and litigation, either through administrative or litigation channels and includes such matters as inmates' reasonable access to the courts (through access to legal materials, legal correspondence, and attorney-client visits), conditions of confinement, medical care, diet and religious accommodations, housing assignments, and inmate discipline. This practice will also include prosecution assistance regarding crimes involving correctional operations, and matters processed through the Federal Tort Claims Act.

    The incumbent will be expected to provide advice and guidance to all levels of staff at these correctional facilities within the CLC, including members of the Executive Staff. The incumbent will be significantly involved in preparing litigation reports and pleadings to various litigation filed against staff and the United States, as well as handle the adjudication of administrative tort claims. The incumbent will also be expected to communicate with defense attorneys, prosecutors, federal courts, and agency officials. The incumbent must develop thorough knowledge of all aspects of BOP policy and practice as he/she may be required to appear in District Court on short notice to explain and advocate the agency's rationale for its correctional management decisions.

    This is a primary law enforcement position. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 3307, the maximum entry age of 36 has been established for initial appointment to a position in a Bureau of Prisons correctional institution. If you are above the maximum entry age and have prior federal law enforcement coverage, you must submit an SF-50 to verify prior coverage. Qualified Preference Eligible Veterans may be exempt from meeting the maximum age. The duties of this position may at times require frequent and direct contact with individuals in confinement who are suspected or convicted of serious criminal offenses. It has also been determined that the duties of this position require experience and knowledge of the on-the-job responsibilities of a primary law enforcement officer working in a detention facility. A prerequisite requirement of this position is the successful completion of “Institution Familiarization” and, the satisfactory completion of a mandatory course in “Introduction to Correctional Techniques.”

    Because of the nature and mission of this position, it requires "hands-on" understanding of the issues encompassed in working within an institution. The incumbent may be called on to perform as a law enforcement officer in a correctional environment during training, emergency situations, times of staff shortages, and under any other type of correctional operating crisis. Specific correctional responsibilities may include custody and supervision of inmates, responding to emergencies and institution disturbances, participating in fog and escape patrols, and assuming correctional officer posts when necessary. The incumbent may be required to shakedown inmates and conduct visual searches in their work or living area for contraband. The incumbent must be prepared to use physical control in situations where necessary, such as in fights among inmates, assaults on staff, and riots or escape attempts.

    The Practice areas related to this position are: Correctional Law, Constitutional Law, and Civil Litigation
