Witness Security
The Marshals Service provides for the security, health and safety of government witnesses — and their immediate dependents — whose lives are in danger as a result of their testimony against drug traffickers, terrorists, organized crime members and other major criminals.
Since 1971, the Marshals Service has protected, relocated and given new identities to approximately 18,865 participants – including innocent victim-witnesses and cooperating defendants and their dependent family members. The successful operation of the Witness Security Program have been generally recognized as providing a unique and valuable tool in the government’s war against major criminal enterprises.
Prisoner Operations
The Marshals Service houses over 51,800 detainees in federal, state, local and private jails throughout the nation. In order to house these pre-sentenced prisoners, the Marshals Service contracts with approximately 1,800 state and local governments to rent jail space. Eighty percent of the prisoners in Marshals Service custody are detained in state, local and private facilities; the remainder are housed in Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) facilities.
In areas where detention space is scarce, the Marshals Service uses Cooperative Agreement Program (CAP) funds to improve local jail conditions and expand jail capacities in return for guaranteed space for federal prisoners.
