This Program Statement establishes procedures to follow when an inmate who has tested positive for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) indicates by actions or words that he or she is likely to engage in, or continue to engage in, conduct that poses a significant threat to transmit the virus to another person. Specifically, individuals who pose such a concern are to be considered for placement in a controlled housing status. If selected for this placement, the inmate is afforded, to the extent practicable, the privileges afforded to the general population, except that the opportunity to socialize with others is limited and closely supervised. The inmate's status is reviewed regularly, and he or she may be returned to a general population when the perceived danger is alleviated.

The expected results of this program are: Fines and costs will be processed in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3565 and 3569. Inmates with committed fines may make application for a determination of indigency under 18 U.S.C. § 3569.
