QARs are annual reviews of (1) private
facilities under contract to the USMS or OFDT and (2) of state
and local facilities with Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA) with
an average daily population of 480 or more Federal detainees. Additional
facilities, such as those requested by the USMS or needing follow-up,
also receive QARs. These reviews are conducted utilizing Federal
Performance-Based Detention Standards (FPBDS) to ensure Federal
detainees are being held in safe, secure, and humane conditions
of confinement and to ensure detainees constitutional rights are
not violated. They also review the adequacy and sufficiency of
services provided in non-Federal detention facilities that house
Federal detainees.
