Introduction 
The Special Housing Unit is not the same as if 
you were working in a normal housing unit. Thus 
the name `Special Housing Unit.' 
The Special Housing Unit is designed to house 
inmates: 
Who have committed violations of the rules and 
regulations 
Disruptive inmates 
Pending a SIS investigation 
Hold-overs 
Psych concerns 
Pending transfer and classification 
EFTA00036462


Special Housing Staff must have a strong 
knowledge of Policy and Procedures to 
succeed. 
The Federal Bureau of Prisons has made a 
basic commitment to the development of a 
comprehensive philosophy which places equal 
emphasis on custody, care and correction of 
the criminal offender. 
This objective can only be accomplished to all 
aspects of inmate management and treatment 
if we take responsibility of meeting this 
challenge.

The sanitation of SHU is a direct reflection upon 
the staff assigned. 
Additionally, it's a reflection of all staff who conduct 
rounds ( Non Custody staff). 
We have a responsibility to ensure all areas of the 
institution maintain a high level of sanitation. 
A bigger ownership concerning SHU operations is 
a custodial one.
