Office of the Federal Detention Trustee
OFDT seal

The Office of the Federal Detention Trustee (OFDT) was established in September 2001 by directive of Congress in response to growing concerns regarding Federal detention. The size and scope of Federal detention demands a central organization that can direct resources and implement programmatic changes. A central structure is key to realizing cost savings and gaining efficiency. The Federal Detention Trustee reports directly to the Deputy Attorney General.

Recent Activities
  • The eDesignate Movement Request Pilot continues its successful application rollout. Thus far, the new application has been implemented in the Districts of Nevada, Maryland, Kansas, Southern Texas and Western Texas.  Augmenting the 106 movement request system, eDesignate Movement Request will provide more detailed prisoner movement information, leading to faster prisoner movements.

  • eIGA Version 2.3 was recently deployed by OFDT’s Information Technology Division. The new version includes changes that improve overall application performance.

  • OFDT is developing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Tracking System based on Microsoft SharePoint. The new system will improve the management and efficiency of OFDT FOIA processing.
