The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is undergoing significant changes with the resignation of its director and the reversal of a Biden-era executive order.
The director of the BOP, Colette Peters, who took on the role in August 2022, has stepped down from her position. She was appointed by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland with a mandate to reform the agency, which has long been plagued by issues such as staff shortages, corruption, misconduct, and abuse.
