Duties

The Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Cumberland, Maryland, is under the direction of the Mid-Atlantic Consolidated Legal Center (CLC) and provides litigation support to the United States Attorneys' Offices for inmate litigation arising out of FCI Cumberland. A CLC Attorney at FCI Cumberland also provides legal advice and guidance to institution staff, and support to the legal department at the Mid-Atlantic Region. The legal practice of FCI Cumberland covers a wide variety of issues focusing on correctional and constitutional law, either through administrative or litigation channels and includes such matters as inmates' reasonable access to the courts, conditions of confinement (medical care, religious accommodations, etc.), post-sentencing processes (e.g., sentence computations and inmate discipline), and First Step Act eligibility.

The incumbent will handle a wide variety of legal issues focusing on correctional law, which is a practice that relies heavily on constitutional law, tort law, and other administrative law. This practice is primarily civil in nature and involves providing extensive litigation support to the U.S. Attorney's Offices. This practice also involves providing advice and guidance to all levels of staff including senior leaders and communication with defense attorneys, prosecutors, federal courts, and agency officials.

This is a primary law enforcement position. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. § 3307, the maximum entry age of 36 has been established for initial appointment to a position in a Bureau of Prisons correctional institution. If you are above the maximum entry age and have prior federal law enforcement coverage, you must submit an SF-50 to verify prior coverage. Qualified Preference Eligible Veterans may be exempt from meeting the maximum age. The duties of this position may at times require frequent and direct contact with individuals in confinement who are suspected or convicted of serious criminal offenses. It has also been determined that the duties of this position require experience and knowledge of the on-the-job responsibilities of a primary law enforcement officer working in a correctional facility. A requirement of this position is the successful completion of 'Introduction to Correctional Techniques, Phase I' locally and, the satisfactory completion of a mandatory course in 'Introduction to Correctional Techniques, Phase II' at the Staff Training Academy.

Because of the nature and mission of this position, it requires "hands-on" understanding of the issues encompassed in working within an institution. The incumbent may be called on to perform as a law enforcement officer in a correctional environment during training, emergency situations, times of staff shortages, and under any other type of correctional operating crisis. Specific correctional responsibilities may include custody and supervision of inmates, responding to emergencies and institution disturbances, participating in fog and escape patrols, and assuming correctional officer posts when necessary. The incumbent may be required to shakedown inmates and conduct visual searches in their work or living area for contraband. The incumbent must be prepared to use physical control in situations where necessary, such as in fights among inmates, assaults on staff, and riots or escape attempts.

The Practice areas related to this position are: Correctional Law, Constitutional Law, and Health/Medical
