Bureau of Prisons director Colette Peters out as President Trump takes office
By Lisa Fernandez, KTVU Fox 2, January 22, 2025:
The Brief
BOP Director Colette Peters no longer works for the federal prison system.
During her tenure, she shut down FCI Dublin after she said she couldn’t turn around the culture there.
Union members are worried that President Trump will privatize the prison system, which will mean more cuts.WASHINGTON, D.C. – The head of the Bureau of Prisons is out of a job.
What we know:
ADVERTISEMENTForbes reported that Colette Peters resigned on Monday, coinciding with President Donald Trump’s first day in office.
No reason was given.
William Lothrop will serve as acting director of the nation’s 122 federal prisons housing about 155,000 people, the BOP told KTVU in a statement, which added that Peters “separated” from her job without giving any further explanation.
Lothrop said he has 30 years of experience in the BOP and acknowledged that the agency has “ongoing challenges” including staffing shortages and operational issues, which he said he wanted to find “real solutions that strengthen facilities.”
The backstory:
Peters was brought in to head the BOP in 2022 after heading the Oregon Department of Corrections.
When she took the job, she promised to make changes within the BOP, including at the all-women’s prison in Dublin, Calif., where seven correctional officers were sentenced to prison for sex crimes against incarcerated women. An eighth officer is headed to trial.
But in September 2023, the Senate Judiciary Committee said her lack of transparency hampered their ability to fix the agency, and they complained she reneged on promises she made when she took the job and told them that the “buck stops with her.”
And in April 2024, Peters abruptly shut down the women’s prison, FCI Dublin, saying she threw resources into the prison but just wasn’t able to change the culture there.
Peters’ move came days after a federal judge in Oakland named a special master to oversee FCI Dublin and to make sure women were no longer sexually abused or retaliated against for reporting those abuses.
