Federal prison officials failed to monitor communications of 28 terror inmates, DOJ investigation finds

Federal prison officials failed to monitor communications involving at least 28 prisoners linked to domestic and international terrorism, an internal Justice Department investigation concluded.

The federal Bureau of Prisons requires the communications of all high-risk inmates be tracked, but the Justice Department’s inspector general found that other federal agencies often provided “insufficient” information about the prisoners’ terror connections.

Investigators also concluded that prison officials lack the ability to confirm that communications are being fully monitored, which left “thousands of terrorist inmate communications” only partially covered.

In cases where terror suspects were preparing for trial, prison authorities could not prevent inmates from sharing sensitive information, including photographs, videos and other documents that could be used “to help radicalize other inmates,” the Justice inspector general found.

Since 2005, prison officials have been providing the FBI with lists of terror inmates preparing for release, but investigators found that prison officials “did not take appropriate steps to ensure that information about all formerly incarcerated terrorists was provided to the FBI.”

Where were these prisons located?
Who were "the officials" in charge?
What was their political party affiliation outside of work?
(and yes, that's a relevant question to be asking)

I hope they aren't some of the prisoners Barr is sending home for their safety.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
