Top executives and wardens at the embattled federal Bureau of Prisons were recommended for more than $3M in bonus payments during the past three years as the agency confronted grave security and health crises that rocked the organization's top ranks.
Last week, Attorney General Merrick Garland tapped Oregon Department of Corrections Director, which has 157,000 inmates across 122 facilities.
Federal Bureau of Prisons Director Michael Carvajal testifies before a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing examining issues facing prisons and jails during the coronavirus pandemic on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, June 2, 2020. ORG XMIT: WX429"It is a tall order, and I look forward to working with Ms. Peters to help her succeed in this new role, Durbin said., senior executives also were recommended for millions in bonuses, with individual awards ranging from $5,400 to $28,000.
The union representing federal prison workers bristled at the size and scope of the new awards, especially as the agency continued to struggle to fill vacant positions and deal with the pandemic. Federal prison officials declined to provide the underlying justification for the roster of award recipients, saying only that"employees who perform at the achieved results or higher level are eligible for performance awards."
