Introduction

The Office of the Federal Detention Trustee (OFDT) provides oversight of all OFDT awarded private detention facility contracts housing United States Marshal Service (USMS) detainees. OFDT’s Detention Standards and Compliance Division (DS&C) maintains a Quality Assurance Program to ensure these facilities and those state and local facilities operating under Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) and housing an average daily population of 480 or more USMS detainees operate in a safe, secure, and humane manner.

The Quality Assurance Program is a synergy of components including: Quality Assurance Reviews (QARs), Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) Functions, Pre-Occupancy Reviews, Contract Monitoring Instrument (Private Facilities), Monitoring Instrument (IGA Facilities), Follow-Up Reviews, After Action Reviews, and the Facility Review Management System (FRMS).
