A quietly issued Bureau of Prisons policy change is drawing sharp scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers and former officials who say it hands acting Attorney General Todd Blanche sweeping authority over federal prisons they fear could be used to reward allies and punish adversaries.

The May 6 revision, issued under Blanche's supervision while he served as acting attorney general, allows him to personally designate an inmate's place of imprisonment, which critics told The Bulwark shifts a decision that traditionally belonged to career Bureau of Prisons officials into the hands of a single political appointee.

“The change that was made here is just absolutely stunning in scope and potential impact,” said former Justice Department pardon attorney Liz Oyer, who testified against Blanche and first broke the news of the policy shift. "[The change] essentially gives the attorney general the authority to override the entire [116-page classification] manual at his complete discretion.”
