## Resource

The Federal Bureau of Prisons is shutting down multiple facilities—including La Tuna in Texas, Beaumont, Big Spring, and others—due to decades of neglect, massive repair backlogs exceeding four billion dollars, and chronic staffing shortages. La Tuna, housing over 700 inmates, will be reduced to skeleton staff before closing, forcing inmates into relocation hundreds of miles away to Austin or Tucson. The BOP says these cuts are essential to ensure safety and long-term stability, while promising support for affected employees.
