RRM Phoenix handles federal reentry for Arizona and for the part of Nevada the Bureau assigns to it, from an office at 230 N First Avenue in downtown Phoenix. It is one of 22 Residential Reentry Management field offices, sits in the Western Region, and administers six halfway-house contracts.

What does RRM Phoenix do?
Two jobs, contracting and liaison. The Bureau puts them like this: RRMs “administer contracts for community-based programs and serve as the Federal Bureau of Prisons local liaison with the federal courts, the U.S. Marshals Service, state and local corrections, and a variety of community groups within their specific judicial districts,” and “RRM Staff also monitor local Residential Reentry Centers.”
Anything written before this year calls the office by another name. Program Statement 7310.04 (Dec. 16, 1998) refers throughout to the Community Corrections Manager; Program Statement 5325.09, dated June 22, 2026, “Changes Community Corrections references to Residential Reentry Management (RRM)” at p. 1. Same office, two vocabularies.
One of the six contracts here is not a halfway house in the ordinary sense. A four-bed unit on East Roosevelt Road in Phoenix is marked MINT, which Program Statement 7310.04 at p. 6 describes as “an alternative residential program that promotes bonding and parenting skills for low risk female inmates who are pregnant,” entered two months before delivery and lasting three months after it. It is the only such placement in this office’s territory, and the Bureau’s wider parenting and family programs sit alongside it.
Which federal judicial districts does RRM Phoenix cover?
The page prints two lines, Arizona and Southern Nevada, but that is one whole district and part of another. 28 U.S.C. § 82 provides that “Arizona constitutes one judicial district,” with court at “Flagstaff, Globe, Phoenix, Prescott, Tucson, and Yuma.” Every federal prison in the state therefore sits in the same district, and they are listed on our Arizona hub — USP Tucson, FCI Phoenix, FCI Tucson and FCI Safford.
“Southern Nevada” is the line to read carefully. There is no Southern District of Nevada. 28 U.S.C. § 108 provides that “Nevada constitutes one judicial district,” and the north-south division is an internal Bureau allocation of that single court between two field offices: the northern label is printed by RRM Sacramento. What the split actually decides is which office administers which contract. The Las Vegas contract in the table below is administered here, and it is the only Nevada row on either office’s list. The Bureau operates no institution in Nevada, so there is no Nevada prison page on this site to link.
The Western Region is wider than the reentry map. bop.gov lists Alaska, Arizona, California, Idaho, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming in the region, yet no RRM page anywhere in the estate prints a Montana, Utah or Wyoming district. That is a statement about what the Bureau publishes as of September 2026, not a claim that those districts go unserved, and this office is not one of the offices that prints them.
The office that handles a case is fixed by the release district, not by where the sentence is being served. Program Statement 7310.04 at p. 12 tells the Warden, where there is significant doubt about a referral, to consider “contacting the Chief USPO in the release district.” A Tucson or Yuma release address comes to Phoenix from a prison anywhere in the country.
Which halfway houses does RRM Phoenix oversee?
Six rows and 412 beds of contract capacity on the Bureau’s September 2026 list, reaching from Flagstaff to Las Vegas. Four are reentry centers with a home-confinement component, one is the MINT unit, and one is in another state. Bed figures are contract capacities, and a contract on the list is not a place held for anyone.
| Provider | Street address | City, State | Services | Beds (M / F / total) | Contract expires | Phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Working Alternatives, Inc. | 1120 W. Kaibab Lane | Flagstaff, AZ 86001 | RRC/HC | 32 M / 8 F / 40 | October 31, 2029 | 714-898-6400 |
| Behavioral Systems Southwest, Inc. | 950 E. Diversion Dam Road | Florence, AZ 85232 | RRC/HC | 50 M / 25 F / 75 | August 31, 2028 | 949-492-3574 |
| Behavioral Systems Southwest, Inc. | 2420 E. Roosevelt Rd | Phoenix, AZ 85008 | MINT | 0 M / 4 F / 4 | June 30, 2031 | 949-492-3574 |

| Dismas Charities, Inc. | 3443 South Richey Blvd | Tucson, AZ 85713 | RRC/HC | 105 M / 27 F / 132 | August 31, 2029 | 502-636-2033 |
| GEO Reentry, Inc. | 2901 Sammy Davis Jr. Dr. | Las Vegas, NV 89109 | RRC/HC | 59 M / 14 F / 73 | July 31, 2031 | 561-999-7548 |
The six rows carry five contract numbers: the two addresses on East Roosevelt Road, the MINT unit at 2420 and the 88-bed reentry center at 2846, run on the same instrument, 15BRRC26D00000012. What a reentry center requires of a resident comes from the Bureau: ordinarily employment of 40 hours a week within 15 calendar days of arrival, and subsistence of 25 percent of gross income, capped at the per diem rate for that contract (Residential Reentry Management Centers, read 18 September 2026).
When does halfway-house and home-confinement placement happen?
Earlier than most families expect, and in two stages. Release preparation begins first: Program Statement 5325.09 at p. 8 provides that “Inmates will be enrolled in the RPP between 18 and 24 months prior to their institution departure date to the community.” The referral itself is a later decision. Program Statement 7310.04 at p. 13: “Normally 11 to 13 months before each inmate’s probable release date, the unit team shall decide whether to refer an inmate to a Community Corrections program.” That sentence dates from 1998.
The statutory ceilings are separate again. 18 U.S.C. § 3624(c)(1) has the Director place a prisoner under prerelease conditions for part of the final months of a term “not to exceed 12 months.” Home confinement under § 3624(c)(2) is limited to “the shorter of 10 percent of the term of imprisonment of that prisoner or 6 months.” Prerelease custody earned through First Step Act time credits is measured differently: § 3624(g)(10) provides that “The time limits under subsections (b) and (c) shall not apply to prerelease custody under this subsection.”
The rule on when those credits start to accrue changes on 30 September 2026. The interim final rule at 91 Fed. Reg. 55740 (Aug. 31, 2026) is “effective September 30, 2026” and amends 28 C.F.R. § 523.42(a) so that “An eligible inmate begins earning FSA Time Credits after the inmate’s term of imprisonment commences.” Up to that date the older text, which tied accrual to arrival at the designated facility, still governs.
How do I contact RRM Phoenix?
Calls go to 602-333-0537 and the fax line is 602-514-7076. The Bureau publishes the office mailbox CPH-CCM-S@bop.gov. Staff mail is addressed to RRM Phoenix, Residential Reentry Office, 230 N First Ave, Suite 405, Phoenix, AZ 85003, which is the same suite as the street address in the table above.
No one is held at this address. It is an office of contract administrators, and nothing sent for a person in custody will reach them through it. Correspondence and money for someone in a reentry center go to the center under its own rules; for someone still at an institution they go to the institution. The inmate locator will show the office rather than the house: the Bureau states that for a person who has arrived at a center it does “not reveal the actual address of the RRC – just the RRM office responsible for the inmate.” The referral is made by the unit team inside; the house rules belong to the contractor; the contract and the home confinement policy are administered here.
Can someone in a halfway house or on home confinement under RRM Phoenix request compassionate release?
Yes. For this purpose the Residential Reentry Manager is the warden. Program Statement 5050.51, dated September 3, 2026, provides at p. 3 that “‘Warden’ includes Residential Reentry Manager for requests filed by inmates designated to an RRC or on home confinement,” that such a request “must address why RIS is appropriate notwithstanding the inmate’s placement in prerelease custody,” and that it “will be sent to the Residential Reentry Management Office responsible for the jurisdiction in which the inmate is confined.” The compassionate release section of this site explains what has to be shown after that.
How do administrative remedies work for people under RRM Phoenix?
Identical steps, different first stop. Program Statement 1330.18 (Jan. 6, 2014) provides at p. 6 that “CCC inmates may mail their Requests to the CCM” — today’s Residential Reentry Manager. The response times, at p. 9, are “by the Warden or CCM within 20 calendar days; by the Regional Director within 30 calendar days; and by the General Counsel within 40 calendar days.” And the twenty-day filing window can move: at p. 5, “Where the inmate demonstrates a valid reason for delay, an extension in filing time may be allowed.” Our walkthrough of filing a BP-9 covers the form.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Residential Reentry Management office?
A Bureau of Prisons field office that buys and supervises community placement. It writes and monitors halfway-house contracts, oversees home confinement, and is the Bureau’s point of contact with the federal courts, the marshals and state and local corrections inside its districts. It is an office rather than a facility, and nobody is held or housed there at any point.
Where is RRM Phoenix located?
At 230 N First Avenue, Suite 405, Phoenix, Arizona 85003, in Maricopa County, a few blocks from the federal courthouse. Staff mail is addressed to the same suite, which is unusual across the estate; several other offices take staff mail at a post office box or at a different street address entirely.
Why does an Arizona office print Southern Nevada?
Because the Bureau divides the Nevada court between two of its field offices. Congress did not: under the judicial code Nevada is one judicial district and no northern or southern district of Nevada exists. RRM Sacramento prints the northern label, and this office administers the single Las Vegas contract on the national list.
Is there a federal prison in Nevada?
Not one run by the Bureau of Prisons. Nevada has federal reentry contracting, and the Las Vegas contract on this office’s list is part of it, but no Bureau institution. A Nevada case therefore reaches prerelease custody from a prison in another state, and the placement still follows the district the person is going home to.
What does MINT mean on the contract table?
Mothers and Infants Nurturing Together. Bureau policy describes it as a residential program promoting bonding and parenting skills for low-risk pregnant women, entered two months before delivery and continuing three months afterwards. One four-bed MINT placement appears on this office’s list, on East Roosevelt Road in Phoenix, and it is the only one in the territory.
How long before release does any of this start?
Release preparation begins between eighteen and twenty-four months before the departure date under current policy. The referral to a reentry center is a separate decision taken by the unit team, normally eleven to thirteen months out, under a 1998 instruction the Bureau has never reissued. Neither step is a decision this office makes.
Can the Bureau put someone straight on home confinement?
It can, within limits. Home confinement under the general prerelease authority is capped at the shorter of ten percent of the term or six months; prerelease custody earned with First Step Act credits is not bound by that cap. Which route applies, and for how long, is decided by the Bureau on the individual file.
Where we can help
Two situations recur in this office’s territory. The first is the Nevada question — a Las Vegas address and a Reno address are handled by different field offices, and people are routinely told the wrong one. The second is the distance problem: four Arizona contracts serve a single district the size of Italy, and a Flagstaff or Yuma release plan may turn on a bed in Tucson. Working out how a computation, early release credits and a placement date interact is what we do, together with consulting work inside.
