Testifying before lawmakers on Tuesday, outgoing Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Director Michael Carvajal came under fire from Democratic and Republican Senators due to conditions at the U.S. Penitentiary in Atlanta.
The hearing was held to present findings from a monthslong bipartisan investigation into conditions at one of the nation's most troubled federal prisons. The report, expected for release later this year, describes an agency and a penitentiary mired in dysfunction.
