Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP)

Read a random definition: personal statute

A quick definition of Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP):

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is a government agency that manages people who have been sent to prison. They make sure that the prisons are safe, clean, and secure, and that the people who are in prison are treated fairly. The BOP also helps people who are getting ready to leave prison by providing programs to help them get back into society. They work with other government agencies to make sure that all prisons, not just federal ones, are run well. The BOP is in charge of about 150,000 people who are in prison, and most of them are in prisons that the BOP runs.

A more thorough explanation:

The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is a law enforcement agency that manages incarcerated individuals. It is part of the Department of Justice and is led by a Director who reports to the U.S. Attorney General. The BOP's main goal is to protect public safety by ensuring that federal offenders serve their sentences in facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and secure. The BOP also provides reentry programming to help inmates successfully return to their communities.

The BOP has several duties, including managing and regulating federal penal and correctional institutions, providing suitable quarters for all inmates, providing for the protection, instruction, and discipline of all inmates, and providing technical assistance to state, tribal, and local governments in improving their correctional systems. The BOP also establishes prerelease and reentry planning procedures.

For example, the BOP has custody over approximately 150,000 inmates, with about 85% of them confined in BOP-operated facilities. This means that the BOP is responsible for ensuring that these inmates are housed in safe and secure facilities and that they receive the necessary care and support to successfully reintegrate into society after their release.

Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet
18:46
How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.
18:50
I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
Just found out LSAC gpa is different from offical from undergrad, went from 3.0 on 4.0 scale to 2.67... Guess I'm a super splitter rather than a splitter
just submitted my first ever app! and now I am consumed by The Dread
23:55
@SassyLearnedSquid: congrats
23:56
@OppositeEarlyCorgi: yep, fuckin sucks. My community college is scalled down by LSAC so I go from a 3.77 to a 3.44 or some shit like that.
23:58
My community college didn't have the A+ grade and only A's at 4.0 so there are classes I know I got an A+ in and should have a 4.0 but LSAC sees it as a 3.7 or whatever.
23:58
Idk, hard to describe.
23:59
My bad, should have had 4.33 but LSAC sees it as 4.0
