It's been a month since we published our original story on the gun incident at USP Tucson. Accountability still seems impossible.

Most of us know about the First Step Act time-credits program, but the FSA also requires that the BOP award prisoners other incentives too.
Litigating against the BOP in a First Step Act case is kind of like trying to hit a moving piñata blindfolded. Yufenyuy v. Warden shows why.
The BOP response to the gun incident at USP Tucson continues to baffle the loved ones of the campers who could have died that day.
A husband tried to murder his wife in a visiting room at the BOP's minimum-security camp at USP Tucson. The BOP did virtually nothing.
A bill in Massachusetts would allow prisoners to earn time off their sentence by donating bone marrow or an organ. It's kind of gross.
A federal prisoner wrote a letter to a judge to "keep [the judge] posted on [his] progress in prison. The judge's response? Motion denied.
Courts can't order the BOP to award partial eligibility for FSA Time Credits. But that doesn't mean the BOP can't do it anyway.
Heading into 2023, annual prison costs are on the rise. At almost $200 billion per year, it's fair to ask what we're getting for our money.
Implementation of First Step Act Time credits by the BOP has been a mess, but some courts still treat everything it says as true.
