28 CFR 522.11: Civil contempt commitments.
Where this section sits in the code
- Title 28—Judicial Administration
- CHAPTER V—BUREAU OF PRISONS, DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
- SUBCHAPTER B—INMATE ADMISSION, CLASSIFICATION, AND TRANSFER
- PART 522—ADMISSION TO INSTITUTION
- Subpart B—Civil Contempt of Court Commitments
Inmates can come into Bureau custody for civil contempt commitments in two ways:
(a) The U.S. Marshals Service may request a designation from the Bureau for a civil contempt commitment if local jails are not suitable due to medical, security or other reasons; or
(b) The committing court may specify a Bureau institution as the place of incarceration in its contempt order. We will designate the facility specified in the court order unless there is a reason for not placing the inmate in that facility.
