RRM Long Beach is the Bureau of Prisons’ reentry office for southern California, one of 22 Residential Reentry Management field offices nationally. It prints two judicial districts, Central California and Southern California, and works from 1299 Seaside Avenue in San Pedro, inside the Western Region. Eight halfway-house contracts run through it.

What does RRM Long Beach do?
It holds the contracts and does the liaison work for its two districts. The Bureau’s own account of the role reads: 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.”
The title on the older files is different. Community Corrections Manager is what Program Statement 7310.04 (Dec. 16, 1998) calls the post, and the change of name is recent: Program Statement 5325.09, dated June 22, 2026, “Changes Community Corrections references to Residential Reentry Management (RRM)” at p. 1. The Community Corrections Manual, in force since 1998, uses the old term throughout.
The office is not in Long Beach. Its street block prints 1299 Seaside Avenue, San Pedro, CA 90731, on the far side of the harbor, and its staff mail goes somewhere else again — P.O. Box 323, San Pedro, CA 90733. Two San Pedro addresses with two ZIP codes, both published by the Bureau, and both reproduced above as printed.
Which federal judicial districts does RRM Long Beach cover?
Two: Central California and Southern California, in statutory form the Central and Southern Districts of California. 28 U.S.C. § 84 provides that the state “is divided into four judicial districts to be known as the Northern, Eastern, Central, and Southern Districts of California.” The Central District takes in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties; the Southern District is San Diego and Imperial. Both are on our California hub, along with the federal jails that serve them — MDC Los Angeles, FCI Terminal Island and MCC San Diego.
The other two districts go north. RRM Sacramento prints Eastern California and Northern California, so between the two offices every California district appears on exactly one reentry page: none claimed twice, none missing. That is not true everywhere — Middle Florida and Eastern Virginia are each printed by two offices, and Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming by none.
Placement follows the release district rather than the sentencing court or the prison’s own region. Program Statement 7310.04 at p. 12 directs the Warden, where significant doubt exists about a referral, to consider “contacting the Chief USPO in the release district.” Someone finishing a sentence in Pennsylvania who plans to live in Riverside is a matter for this office.
Which halfway houses does RRM Long Beach oversee?
Eight contract rows, 735 beds of contract capacity, on the Bureau’s national list as it stood in September 2026 — the largest capacity of any office in the Western Region. Every one is a reentry center with a home-confinement component. A row on the list is not an offer of a place, and the figures are capacities written into contracts.
| Provider | Street address | City, State | Services | Beds (M / F / total) | Contract expires | Phone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Working Alternatives, Inc. | 718 E. Street | Brawley, CA 92227 | RRC/HC | 44 M / 11 F / 55 | September 30, 2029 | 714-898-6400 |
| GEO Reentry, Inc. | 11750 Ramona Blvd | El Monte, CA 91732 | RRC/HC | 56 M / 14 F / 70 | September 30, 2029 | 561-999-7621 |
| Behavioral Systems Southwest, Inc. | 5520 Harold Way | Hollywood, CA 90028 | RRC/HC | 168 M / 42 F / 210 | September 30, 2029 | 949-492-7890 |

| Working Alternatives, Inc. | 1112 Barclay Drive | San Diego, CA 92841 | RRC/HC | 45 M / 10 F / 55 | February 28, 2030 | 714-898-6400 |
| Behavioral Systems Southwest, Inc. | 8141 Orion Avenue | Van Nuys, CA 91406 | RRC/HC | 112 M / 28 F / 140 | September 30, 2029 | 949-492-6798 |
Eight rows are not eight contracts. Two of them, Behavioral Systems Southwest’s 210-bed site in Hollywood and its 140-bed site in Van Nuys, share a single contract number, 15BRRC19D00000236, so the same instrument covers 350 of the 735 beds. Five of the eight rows expire on the same day, 30 September 2029.
What a reentry center asks of a resident is set out by the Bureau: ordinarily employment of 40 hours a week within 15 calendar days of arrival, and a subsistence charge of 25 percent of gross income capped at the contract’s per diem rate (Residential Reentry Management Centers, read 18 September 2026). Subsistence stops at the door of the house: change notice CN-3 to Program Statement 7300.09, dated August 1, 2016, “removes the requirement of subsistence collection for any resident while on Home Confinement” at p. 2.
When does halfway-house and home-confinement placement happen?
Preparation and referral run on separate timetables, and both begin at the institution. For release preparation, 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.” For the referral, Program Statement 7310.04 at p. 13 provides that “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.” The second of those is a 1998 instruction that has never been reissued.
Congress set the outer limits. 18 U.S.C. § 3624(c)(1) has the Director place a prisoner under prerelease conditions for a portion of the final months of a term “not to exceed 12 months.” For home confinement, § 3624(c)(2) allows “the shorter of 10 percent of the term of imprisonment of that prisoner or 6 months,” and adds that the Bureau “shall, to the extent practicable, place prisoners with lower risk levels and lower needs on home confinement for the maximum amount of time permitted under this paragraph.” Prerelease custody earned with First Step Act time credits is outside both caps: § 3624(g)(10) provides that “The time limits under subsections (b) and (c) shall not apply to prerelease custody under this subsection.”
The starting point for earning those credits shifts at the end of this month. 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) to read that “An eligible inmate begins earning FSA Time Credits after the inmate’s term of imprisonment commences.” Before that date the regulation still keys the start to arrival at the designated institution.
How do I contact RRM Long Beach?
The telephone number is 424-450-2866 and the fax is 310-732-5291. The Bureau publishes the office mailbox CLB-CCM-S@bop.gov, which is where most correspondence from counsel goes. Staff mail is addressed to RRM Long Beach, Residential Reentry Office, P.O. Box 323, San Pedro, CA 90733 — the box, not the Seaside Avenue street number in the table above.
This is not an address for anyone in custody. The office administers contracts; it houses no one and receives no inmate mail. Letters and funds for a person in a reentry center are handled by that center, and for a person still at an institution by the institution. Anyone unsure where a relative currently is should start with the inmate locator, bearing in mind the Bureau’s warning that for a person already in a center it will “not reveal the actual address of the RRC – just the RRM office responsible for the inmate.” House rules, sign-out and passes are the contractor’s business; the referral is the unit team’s; the contracts and the supervision of home confinement are this office’s.
Can someone in a halfway house or on home confinement under RRM Long Beach request compassionate release?
They can, and the Residential Reentry Manager stands in the warden’s place for the purpose. 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 a request “must address why RIS is appropriate notwithstanding the inmate’s placement in prerelease custody,” and that requests “will be sent to the Residential Reentry Management Office responsible for the jurisdiction in which the inmate is confined.” Our compassionate release pages deal with what the motion behind such a request has to establish.
How do administrative remedies work for people under RRM Long Beach?
The BP-9, BP-10 and BP-11 sequence is the same; the first filing simply goes to a different desk. Program Statement 1330.18 (Jan. 6, 2014) provides at p. 6 that “CCC inmates may mail their Requests to the CCM,” meaning the Residential Reentry Manager. At p. 9 the response times are set: “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.” A late filing is not automatically lost, because at p. 5 “Where the inmate demonstrates a valid reason for delay, an extension in filing time may be allowed.” See our guide to filing a BP-9.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the letters RRM stand for on a placement document?
Residential Reentry Management. The office is a contracting and liaison post inside the Bureau of Prisons, not a building anyone lives in. It buys halfway-house services, monitors the contractors who deliver them, supervises home confinement, and deals with the federal courts and the marshals in its districts. Until 2026 Bureau policy called the same post a Community Corrections Manager.
Is RRM Long Beach actually in Long Beach?
No. The Bureau names the office for Long Beach but publishes a street address at 1299 Seaside Avenue, San Pedro, California 90731, across the harbor, in Los Angeles County. Its staff mail goes to a post office box in San Pedro under a different ZIP code, 90733. Both are printed here exactly as the Bureau prints them.
Which parts of California does this office handle?
The Central and Southern Districts. That is Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties in the Central District, and San Diego and Imperial counties in the Southern. Northern and Eastern California are handled by RRM Sacramento, so the four California districts divide cleanly between two offices.
How many halfway houses does RRM Long Beach contract with?
Eight rows appeared on the Bureau’s September 2026 contract list, holding 735 beds of contract capacity. Seven contract numbers cover those eight rows, because one instrument runs two sites, in the San Fernando Valley and in Hollywood. A capacity is not a vacancy, and a listing is not a placement.
Does a person on home confinement still pay subsistence?
No. Residents of a reentry center pay a subsistence charge of 25 percent of gross income, capped at the per diem rate of the contract. The change notice issued to the Community Corrections Manual on August 1, 2016 removed the collection requirement for anyone on home confinement, and that remains the position.
Who do I call about a problem at the halfway house itself?
The center first. Passes, curfews, employment sign-out and house discipline belong to the contractor operating the facility, and RRM Long Beach monitors rather than runs them. A complaint the contractor will not resolve can be taken to this office, and if it concerns Bureau policy it can be filed as an administrative remedy.
Can the Bureau place someone at a center far from home?
It can. Placement follows the release district and the beds available in it, rather than the family’s preference or the nearest street address. With eight contracts spread from Brawley to Van Nuys, a release plan may be worked through a facility an hour or more from the address proposed in it.
Where we can help
The recurring problems here are about density rather than distance: a bed that exists on paper in Van Nuys or Hollywood is not a bed free in the month a date falls. Sorting out how good conduct time, early release credits and a placement date fit together is work we do, as is consulting on problems inside before a referral is ever written.
