# FCC Pollock: In the news

Every piece of coverage I've collected on FCC Pollock, newest first. Local reporters catch things the BOP (the federal Bureau of Prisons) never announces, so this is often the closest thing to a public record the facility has. Links go to the original outlets.

BOP hiring announcements are the rare federal-prison stories whose entire premise is trying to convince people to come inside voluntarily.

Coverage is collected automatically and reviewed by hand before it lands here. Headlines are the outlets' words, not mine.

**Need help with this? Just ask.**

These pages cover the general rules. Your situation has details they don't. Email me a question. **Answers are free** , and "you don't need to pay anyone for this" is my most common answer.

[hello@federalprisondude.com](mailto:hello@federalprisondude.com?subject=Question%20about%20FCC%20Pollock)

I answer in the order received, usually within a couple of days. I have a day job. If your situation genuinely needs more than an email, I take a limited number of consults, so say so and we'll work it out.
