BOP Signs Multi-Million Dollar Contract To Provide
Electronic Legal Research To Its Prisoners
by Brandon Sample
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has signed a
contract with Lexis-Nexis to provide electronic legal
research to prisoners throughout the federal prison
system. Upon full implementation, the contract
requires the BOP to pay Lexis-Nexis $2,170,213.92 annually
for the service.
The BOP's decision to convert from paper to electronic
law libraries was made several years ago as part of
an ongoing effort by the BOP to reduce costs throughout
the federal prison system.
The rollout for the Electronic Law Library (ELL),
as it is called, will be completed systemwide by the
end of 2011. The ELL is more comprehensive than the
BOP's former paper libraries, as it features federal
court decisions going back to the 1800s, the entire
Code of Federal Regulations, and other useful resources.
The ELL may be used for two hour increments without
charge, although printouts from the system cost .15¢
a page.
A copy of the contract is available at PLN's website.
