Standards of Employee Conduct
Is/
Approved: Charles E. Samuels, Jr.
Director, Federal Bureau of Prisons
I. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
To provide policies and procedures, referred to as the "Standards of Conduct," to complement
those issued by the Office of Government Ethics on:
■ Employee conduct and responsibility.
■ Ethics in matters involving conflicts of interest.
■ Post-employment restrictions.
■ Procurement integrity issues.
■ Attorney ethics.
■ Outside employment.
These standards apply to all employees of the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau), including employees
of the Public Health Service and the National Institute of Corrections, and to any person detailed
to any of those agencies under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act.
Such employees are subject to certain standards and prohibitions — some statutory, some
regulatory, and some a matter of good ethical principles that are essential to the efficiency of the
organization.
Contractors and volunteers working in Bureau facilities also are expected to conduct themselves
by these standards, where applicable.
