BOP Grand Prairie Functions

Inmate Designation

The Designation and Sentence Computation Center (DSCC) is located in Grand Prairie, Texas. DSCC is an administrative office responsible for the designation of federal inmates to appropriate facilities located within the federal prison system. It is directly under the supervision of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Central Office.

This sentence computation process involves reviewing the inmate’s offense characteristics, criminal history, anticipated length of incarceration, the sentence imposed, security level, and needs relating to programming and treatment.

Based on these factors, BOP Grand Prairie’s goal is to place each inmate in the most suitable institution while also considering bed space availability and the need to keep the inmate as close to their release residence as possible.

DSCC is also responsible for a final systems check related to residential reentry placements.

Sentence Computation

The Designation and Sentence Computation Center calculates inmate sentences based on the information provided by the sentencing court and the application of federal laws and Bureau policy.

The Sentence Computation Manual and other BOP program statements direct this complex process. The process includes determining the commencement of the sentence, jail credit issues, and projected release dates. The center also calculates sentence adjustments for good conduct time and additional credits as applicable.

Data Analysis

Grand Prairie Bureau of Prisons conducts data analysis related to inmate population trends, projected needs, and impacts of legislative changes. This information assists the Federal Bureau of Prisons to plan for future resource requirements and policy adjustments.

Note About Contacting the Designation & Sentence Computation Center

Please note that Grand Prairie BOP does not respond to inmate-specific inquiries from the public through the telephone or the Internet. Information is rarely released via the telephone and may only be obtained by submitting a written request with an original authorization form. This includes questions about a particular inmate’s sentence BOP computation and how the BOP calculates inmate sentences.

Questions or concerns about specific inmates should be directed to the institution where the inmate is currently designated. Likewise, inmates can utilize the administrative remedy process or otherwise submit a written request to the inmate’s Unit Team to challenge sentence computation errors (e.g., issues with prior custody credit, their projected release date, etc.). This request, which must be signed by the inmate, may include requests for public information.

Questions can also be directed to one of the following the applicable Federal Bureau of Prisons regional offices:
