The critical staffing and funding shortages facing the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) will be addressed this week on AFGE’s “Inside Government” radio show.

AFGE Council of Prison Locals Legislative Coordinator Phil Glover, who testified this week before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, will detail the dangerous and increasingly violent situation inside the BOP. From a rise in assaults on correctional officers to the lack of protective equipment and non-lethal weaponry, Glover will shed light on what really happens inside the nation’s federal prison system.

Listeners also will hear from Terry Rosen, AFGE labor relations specialist; Perry Hooks, president of Hooks Book Events; and Jeff Goldman, executive director of government programs for Kaiser Permanente – all attendees at the recent Excellence in Government Conference, produced by the Government Executive Media Group. Rosen will discuss flexible working conditions and attracting younger workers to the federal government. Hooks then will detail her mission to bring new ideas into the federal government in order to solve the nation’s most pressing issues. Lastly, Goldman will provide tips and strategies for federal employees to lead a more active and healthier lifestyle through proper nutrition and exercise.
