The Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 (TLOA) was signed into law on July 29, 2010. TLOA created a number of useful programs, including the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Pilot Program. The Pilot Program authorized BOP to accept, pay for, and house in BOP custody certain offenders convicted in Tribal court. The Pilot Program was authorized for four years, beginning November 26, 2010, and concluding November 26, 2014. BOP housed six offenders during the Pilot Program. As required by TLOA, at the end of the program, the Attorney General submitted a report to Congress describing the Pilot Program, and recommending that it be made permanent, thus remaining available as a resource for Tribes.
The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2022 (VAWA 2022) amended this statute, effective March 15, 2022. VAWA 2022 authorized a permanent BOP Tribal Prisoner Program (Permanent Program) which authorizes BOP to accept, pay for, and house in BOP custody certain offenders convicted in Tribal court. Tribes have been utilizing this Program under VAWA 2022. The Program is nearing capacity and Tribes may have questions regarding capacity and generally how the program operates.
