The position of Bureau of Prisons Director is a career Senior Executive Service (SES) role, despite being a presidential appointment. According to Section 5315 of Title 5, Part III, Subpart D, Chapter 53, Subchapter II, this is the case. Collette Peters, appointed by the Biden administration as BOP Director, was dismissed by the Trump administration just hours after his inauguration. Peters has hired attorney Mary Kuntz of the firm Kalijarvi, Chuzi, Newman and Fitch to represent her in a wrongful dismissal suit before the Merit Systems Protection Board. Kuntz noted that an SES member can be fired for cause; however, the administration’s dismissal cited only the vague reason of “changing priorities.”
The existing staff shortage, which already results in inadequate healthcare, a lack of programs, and frequent lockdowns, is expected to worsen.
