Text of Recommendation
Require each BOP facility to develop a written plan for consistent colorectal cancer screening that details: how the facility will identify the average-risk population; the screening process, to include timeframes; assigned employee responsibilities; and plans for providing colorectal cancer screening education to inmates. Each facility's evaluation should take into account staffing challenges and the other factors identified in this report that contribute to the BOP's failure to consistently offer colorectal cancer screening, as well as any best practices identified during the BOP's evaluation of the 40 facilities referenced in the report.
