Residential Reentry Management (RRM) Offices

Get a Consultation

The Federal Bureau of Prisons runs 22 Residential Reentry Management (RRM) field offices. None of them is a prison. Each administers the halfway-house contracts and the home-confinement caseload for a named set of federal judicial districts, and the office that handles a case is the one covering the district a person is going home to. On September 10, 2026 the Bureau counted 15,339 people under RRM management.

The Bureau’s 22 RRM field offices

The Bureau’s Offices page names all 22 and links each one (read September 18, 2026); its separate list of reentry offices still carries a static sentence giving a higher total, which that page’s own script overwrites with the live count. Districts below are reproduced exactly as each office’s page prints them, because a normalized list would hide the places where coverage doubles up. Locations are the printed street city, which for six offices is not the city in the name: Dallas sits in Grand Prairie, Chicago in Downers Grove, Orlando in Wildwood, Detroit in Milan, Long Beach in San Pedro and Raleigh in Butner.

The Bureau’s 22 Residential Reentry Management offices, September 2026.

What does RRM mean in the Bureau of Prisons?

Residential Reentry Management — a job title and an office, never a building that holds anyone. The label is recent. Program Statement 5325.09, issued June 22, 2026, records at p. 1 that it “Changes Community Corrections references to Residential Reentry Management (RRM).” Older statements were not reissued, so Program Statement 7310.04 and the Community Corrections Manual still say CCM and CCC. A record from 1998 and a record from 2026 can therefore describe the identical arrangement in words that look unrelated. The facilities have several names as well: the Bureau’s reentry-centers page says “CCC”, “Halfway House” and RRC “are interchangeable and all refer to a contracted Residential Reentry Center (RRC)” (read September 18, 2026).

What does an RRM office do?

Contracting, liaison and oversight. On its Offices page the Bureau says that 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 that “RRM Staff also monitor local Residential Reentry Centers.” The referral itself is made at the institution by a unit team, and the contractor decides whether to accept the person offered.

It houses nobody and takes no inmate mail. The centers set the terms of a stay: residents are “expected to be employed 40 hours/week within 15 calendar days after their arrival at the RRC,” and the subsistence fee “is 25 percent of their gross income, not to exceed the per diem rate for that contract.” Our halfway houses explainer covers the rest.

Which RRM office covers each federal judicial district?

This is the lookup the rest of the page exists for. There are 94 federal judicial districts: §§ 81 to 131 of title 28 create 91 of them, for the 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and title 48 establishes three more for Guam, the Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands. Every section was verified against the current text on September 18, 2026, because the numbering does not run where a reader expects: § 95 is Iowa and § 96 Kansas, § 102 is Michigan and § 109 New Hampshire. Where an office prints a bare state name, that line reaches every district in the state, so both rows name it.

Every federal judicial district and the Residential Reentry Management office whose bop.gov page prints it, September 2026.

Four districts appear under two offices. The Middle District of Florida is on the Miami and Orlando pages; the Eastern District of Virginia on the Baltimore and Raleigh pages; the Eastern District of Missouri twice over, by name on the St. Louis page and inside Kansas City’s undivided “Missouri.” Both offices are named here, and neither is given as the one that takes the referral, because the published pages do not say.

Nevada is the fourth and the easiest to get wrong. Section 108 of title 28 provides that “Nevada constitutes one judicial district.” Phoenix prints “Southern Nevada” and Sacramento “Northern Nevada,” but that line is the Bureau’s split of one district, not a court boundary. There is no Southern District of Nevada.

Six districts are on no reentry page at all, as the 22 pages were rendered on September 17, 2026: Colorado, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, the Southern District of Indiana and the Northern Mariana Islands. That is a statement about what the Bureau publishes, not a claim that nobody handles those releases. No office is assigned to them here.

Halfway houses in districts no RRM page lists

Contracts exist in five of those six districts even so. The Bureau’s contract list of September 17, 2026 carries nine, with a combined capacity of 308 beds. In Colorado it is RRK Enterprise dba Independence House at Denver, 25 beds. In Montana, Alternatives, Inc.; DBA: Alpha House holds two contracts at Billings, of 30 and 11 beds, and Great Falls Pre-Release Services, Inc. one at Great Falls, 30 beds. In Utah, GEO Reentry, Inc. at Salt Lake City, 67 beds. In Wyoming, Community Education Centers; DBA: CEC at Casper, 40 beds on a contract expiring December 31, 2026, and Volunteers of America Northern Rockies at Gillette, 25 beds. In the Southern District of Indiana, Volunteers of America Indiana, Inc at Indianapolis, 70 beds, and Volunteers of America of Indiana, Inc. at Evansville, 10 beds — the Bureau’s list spells the one provider two ways. Only the Northern Mariana Islands has neither a contract nor a page. Anyone releasing to these districts should ask the unit team where the referral packet goes.

How do I find the RRM office for a release district?

Start from the address the person is releasing to, not from the prison. The Bureau’s reentry-centers page says an approved referral packet “is forwarded to an RRM Office – ordinarily this is the nearest office to where the inmate will be releasing,” and Program Statement 7310.04 at p. 12 tells the warden to consider contacting “the Chief USPO in the release district.” Find the county of the release address, read off its judicial district, take the office from the table above, and open that office’s page for its address, telephone and contract list.

The six regional officesMid-Atlantic, North Central, Northeast, South Central, Southeast and Western — oversee institutions, not release districts. After a transfer the inmate locator answers backwards: the Bureau states that once someone has arrived at a center “we do not reveal the actual address of the RRC – just the RRM office responsible for the inmate.”

How many people are under RRM management?

15,339, on the Bureau’s Population Statistics of September 10, 2026, out of 153,004 in its total population that day. Of those, 8,651 were in residential reentry centers and 6,147 on home confinement; the rest fall in four smaller categories under the same heading — 377 in jail or short-term detention, 67 administrative, 59 long-term boarders and 38 contract juveniles. The home-confinement share is large enough that a contract list understates an office’s caseload, because people at home are supervised under a contract without occupying a bed in one.

When does halfway-house placement happen?

Two clocks, and confusing them is the commonest mistake families make. Release preparation comes 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.” That is an enrollment, not a referral. The referral decision comes later: Program Statement 7310.04 at p. 13 puts it “Normally 11 to 13 months before each inmate’s probable release date,” when “the unit team shall decide whether to refer an inmate to a Community Corrections program.” That statement is dated 1998. A different figure on the Bureau’s own reentry-centers page has no current policy behind it, and is not printed here.

A third date matters, because First Step Act time credits move the date a placement is counted back from. The interim final rule at 91 Fed. Reg. 55740 (Aug. 31, 2026) says at 55740 that “This rule is effective September 30, 2026”; until then the regulation ties earning to arrival at the designated facility, and from that date 28 C.F.R. § 523.42(a) reads that “An eligible inmate begins earning FSA Time Credits after the inmate’s term of imprisonment commences.”

What are the home confinement limits?

Statutory ceilings, not entitlements. Under 18 U.S.C. § 3624(c)(1) a prisoner is to spend a portion of the final months of the term “(not to exceed 12 months)” in prerelease conditions. Section 3624(c)(2) is narrower: the authority may place a prisoner in home confinement “for the shorter of 10 percent of the term of imprisonment of that prisoner or 6 months.” The Bureau’s home confinement policy works inside them. Custody earned through time credits sits outside: § 3624(g)(10) provides that “The time limits under subsections (b) and (c) shall not apply to prerelease custody under this subsection.” All three were verified against the current text on September 18, 2026; none obliges the Bureau to use a whole ceiling.

Can someone in prerelease custody request compassionate release?

Yes, and the request goes to an RRM office instead of a warden. Program Statement 5050.51, issued 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,” and that such a request “will be sent to the Residential Reentry Management Office responsible for the jurisdiction in which the inmate is confined.” Identifying the right office is therefore a filing step, which is why the district table matters to counsel. The same page adds a requirement the institutional route does not carry: the request “must address why RIS is appropriate notwithstanding the inmate’s placement in prerelease custody.” Our compassionate release page sets out what that takes.

How do administrative remedies work in prerelease custody?

The four-step process is unchanged; only the step-one address moves. Program Statement 1330.18 at p. 6 provides that “CCC inmates may mail their Requests to the CCM” — now the Residential Reentry Manager. The response times are at p. 9: a response is due “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.” Those are the deadlines for answering. A separate sentence on the same page sets the extensions, which are not the same numbers: the time for response “may be extended once by 20 days at the institution level, 30 days at the regional level, or 20 days at the Central Office level.” The filing deadlines bind the person too, though p. 5 allows that “Where the inmate demonstrates a valid reason for delay, an extension in filing time may be allowed.” Our guide to filing a BP-9 takes the steps in order.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many reentry offices does the Bureau operate?

Twenty-two, as the Bureau’s Offices page listed and named them on September 18, 2026. A separate Bureau page still carries a static sentence with a higher total, which its own script replaces with the live count when the page loads. Between them the twenty-two name 88 of the 94 federal judicial districts.

Is an RRM office a halfway house?

No. It is an administrative field office that contracts with halfway houses and monitors them; nobody is held there and no inmate mail goes there. The halfway house itself is a residential reentry center run by a contractor, with its own address, staff and rules. Mail and money for a resident go to the center.

What does RRM stand for?

Residential Reentry Management. It is the Bureau of Prisons field office that administers halfway-house contracts and home confinement for a group of federal judicial districts, and monitors the centers. Bureau policy called the same office a Community Corrections Manager until 2026.

Which office handles a case if the prison and the home address are in different states?

The office covering the district of the release address. The prison’s own location, and the Bureau region it sits in, do not decide it. That is why somebody serving a sentence far from home is referred through an office they have never been near.

Why do two offices list the same district?

Because the published pages overlap in four places and do not say which office takes the referral. Two name the Middle District of Florida, two the Eastern District of Virginia, and the Eastern District of Missouri is reached twice over, by name and inside a state name.

What if a release district is not on any reentry page?

Six districts were printed on none of the twenty-two pages in September 2026. That is a gap in what the Bureau publishes, not proof that nobody administers those releases; contracts exist in five of the six. Ask the unit team where the packet is sent.

Who decides how long a halfway-house placement lasts?

The Bureau does, case by case, inside statutory ceilings. A unit team recommends, the warden approves, the reentry office forwards the packet, the contractor accepts or declines. Nothing fixes a length as a right; the ceilings in 18 U.S.C. § 3624(c) are maximums.

Can a family member call a reentry office about a placement?

They can call, but the Bureau sends placement questions elsewhere: its reentry-centers page directs them to the unit team at the institution where the person is held. The office administers contracts and oversees centers; it takes no applications from relatives.

Where we can help

Four problems bring people here: a release address in a district two offices are listed for; a referral stalled because the sentencing and release districts sit under different offices; time credits not applied to the date a placement is counted back from; and removal from a center or from home confinement. We cannot guarantee an outcome. This work sits beside our early release practice and prison consulting.
