BOP questions settlement with FCI Dublin, citing finances, Trump administration, leadership changes
Bureau of Prison lawyers are questioning whether they can enter a two-year legal settlement with women who sued FCI Dublin citing financial concerns, the Trump administration and the change of leadership at the top of the federal prison system.
BOP attorney Madison Mattiolii, wrote in a court filing this month, that she would at least like to push off the hearing for the settlement, formerly known as a consent decree, by a month to March 25.
She said that she does not have "sufficient information to ascertain" whether the BOP has enough money to implement the reforms of the consent decree and to pay Special Master Wendy Still for her work, as well as cover her costs for the next two years, which is how long the oversight would last if approved by U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers
