Declaration of Kim Beakey Aragon v. Clark, C-07-2925-CW

1. Prior to March of 2006, I was the Regional Designator for the Western Region, employed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons ("BOP"), United States Department of Justice. My duties as the Regional Designator included evaluating individuals who were federally sentenced in the Western Region for initial designation to an appropriate BOP facility. I also evaluated inmates in the Western Region for redesignation (transfer) to other BOP facilities. The Western Region includes the states of California, Alaska, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Hawaii and Wyoming. I held that position since June of 2004. 2. After March of 2006, some of my duties and responsibilities changed, and I am now a Correctional Programs Specialist. Specifically, most of my designation responsibilities transferred to the Designation and Sentence Computation Center ("DSCC"), located in Grand Prairie, Texas. The DSCC is a new BOP operation established to centralize certain functions that used to be done at regional offices and institutions. As a Correctional Programs Specialist, my duties include overseeing the inmate population in the Western Region, and coordinating limited transfers. I also provide guidance on placements to Residential Reentry Centers ("RRC"). RRCs were formerly referred to as halfway houses or community corrections centers. Moving an inmate to a RRC is no different than transferring an inmate from one BOP location to another. The BOP exercises its judgement to place inmates accordingly during the service of their sentence, and such placements may include transfers to a RRC. Such transfers to a RRC are controlled by various BOP policies and federal regulations, such as Program Statement 7310.04, Community Corrections Center (CCC) Utilization and Transfer Procedure (available at www.bop.gov), and 28 C.F.R. § 570.21. BOP decisions about an inmate's RRC placement have no affect on the length of their sentence. 3. I am familiar with records compiled by the BOP and have access to them, and provide copies to requesting Department of Justice employees in the ordinary course of business. In this case, I have obtained a copy of inmate Dianne Aragon's Judgment from her criminal case, Case No. 2:06-CR-1405-002, District of Mexico, a true and correct of which is attached
