This section treats willful failure to remain within extended confinement limits or return on time as escape. It also requires the Attorney General to provide specified prisoner information to requesting state or local law-enforcement agencies.

(a) Escape. A prisoner who willfully leaves the extended limits of confinement, or fails to return on time to an institution or facility designated by the Attorney General, is considered to have escaped from the Attorney General’s custody and may be punished under chapter 35. (b) Information for law enforcement. (1) When the head of a state or local law-enforcement agency asks, the Attorney General must provide as quickly as possible information maintained by the Bureau of Prisons, to the extent it is maintained, about federal felony prisoners confined at a residential community treatment center in that agency’s jurisdiction. The information includes (A) names, (B) treatment-center addresses, (C) birth dates, (D) FBI numbers, (E) photographs and fingerprints, and (F) the offenses and related facts. (2) An agency receiving the information may not share it outside the agency. (c) Definitions. “Facility” includes a residential community treatment center. “Relative” means a spouse, child (including a stepchild, adopted child, or child for whom the prisoner acted as a parent), parent (including a person who acted as a parent), brother, or sister.
