Broken Systems and Unwavering Accountability The recent report by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) on USP Canaan's conditions should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the Bureau of Prisons' long standing issues.

This legislation aimed to shift the relationship between the BOP and its watchdog by requiring regular, risk based inspections with little notice.
