Our Mission

BOP Lies Exposed is a community‑driven project focused on documenting the fraud, lies and abuse perpetrated within the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). We compile credible reports, government audits and personal narratives to shine a light on mismanagement, falsified records and misconduct that harm incarcerated people and their families. Our goal is to elevate the voices of survivors, raise public awareness and push for reforms that ensure transparency, accountability and humane treatment.
