Issues include such matters as inmates' reasonable access to the courts (e.g., access to legal materials, legal correspondence, and attorney-client visits), conditions of confinement (e.g., medical care, diet and religious accommodations, housing assignments, hygiene &amp; sanitation), and post-sentence administration (e.g., sentence computation and inmate discipline).</p></div>
</div></div><div><div><b>Job Description</b></div>
<div><div><p>This position is part of the Los Angeles CLC, and the position is located at the MDC Los Angeles as part of a legal team that oversees legal matters in the Central District of California associated with Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) operations, which includes the following correctional institutions: Metropolitan Detention Center at Los Angeles (MDC LOS), Federal Correctional Institution at Terminal Island (FCI Terminal Island), Federal Correctional Complex at Lompoc (FCC Lompoc), and the Federal Correctional Complex at Victorville (FCC Victorville).<br>

The incumbent will also be expected to communicate with defense attorneys, prosecutors, federal courts, and agency officials.
