himself but as part of his sentence he can't speak to the media without permission from the bureau of prisons so instead were lucky enough to have his attorney patrick say hey their project on the bureau of prisons is not letting the christopher work for the unitarian church what were their words when they denied him this opportunity. because the unitarian church is known for its social justice programs and because tomb was serving a prison sentence for having acted on his sense of social justice it thought it would be inconsistent is cruel aspirations so instead it he had to find another job is that right it was he able to find one he did he found a wonderful try and some others rare books or. others as distinguished you try to do. what you. different people who. vote ts approaching the one the worst so there's a certain harmony but he does his social justice so i think the friends half good people in the group prisons will be satisfied so i mean it sounds like a fun job but it just seems interesting that working for a church which you know tries to help society is a place where somebody can

the bureau of prisons has an algorithm that reads all the emails of a certain words or phrases or i say then that's a value weighted in but i was director of the girls and management if i wanted to do something but i didn't want to come in for my so i would have one of the staff called one of our former staff people who worked on the hill either for a congressperson the or the to really and say you know if you have struck this question then you know we were able to do something. and whatever happened some of you did get back to us and we can report that every lawmaker that we've spoken to said they had nothing to do with this case staffers representatives chew sheila jackson lee hank johnson jason chaffetz all on the house judiciary committee and pete stark said that they have not spoken to the bureau of prisons about to christopher and congressman jim matheson and rob bishop who represent to christopher's home state of utah in addition to chavis also said the same that's according to the salt lake tribune staffers for utah senators orrin hatch and mike lee also reported no involvement

asked for any and all correspondence in march of two thousand and twelve between the federal bureau of prisons and any member of congress or their staff concerning to christopher so today we finally have a response b o p said that nothing turned up here it is in their words a search was conducted in the correspondence tracking system and mr christopher central file no records were found there are no other locations where this record would be stored that would likely lead to the covering of the record with a reasonable amount of effort now does doesn't mean that a member of congress didn't play a role in the christopher's brief stint in isolation as passé one of tim's lawyers told us today a request to isolate him would not have been sent in a written or traceable form so we'll keep our ears and eyes open for any new leads but for now we have no evidence that a lawmaker did pressure the bureau of prisons to throw to christopher in the whole . now you got a couple other big stories today when it comes to leaks for starters the third motion hearing for bradley manning began in fort meade today it

overall in the last decade, we've seen a 10% increase in african-american females in the bureau of prisons and between 2000 and 2010, the numbers serving as wardens has doubled. currently, african-american women account for about 30% of all female supervisors in the bureau of prisons so it's good we have a nice rich base to draw from. and our numbers have shown significant increases in the ses ranks as well. african-american women, i believe, have a unique cultural experience which is invaluable and intrinsically relatable when working in a correctional environment largely filled with minority inmates. and i believe we continue to make progress and impact on a daily basis. you know, for a long time it was believed that corrections was not work for women. it was too dangerous. or there were privacy issues that we had to take into account working cross cross gender but a lot of those actually have been debunked. as a matter of fact, most research reflects that the presence of women in prisons normalizes the environment and actually when we reach a threshold level, a saturated level reduces v

know which congress person overstepped boundaries and secretly discussed this case with the bureau of prisons that we want to relay that information. back to you again in touch with your representative ask if they reached out to the bureau of prisons about to christopher and if so what do they say then email us the results t.a.'s producer at g. mail dot com for more information about the christopher you can also check out our facebook page or the website of the activist group he co-founded peaceful uprising or. well the goal of space programs across the world used to be to put a man on the moon times of change the challenge now is to put a man on the moon and keep him there russian announcer are now working to do just that they're in talks to build manned research colonies on the moon in the next decade archies tom barton reports. to put a man on the move to keep him that's the aim for space exploration in the coming decade according to a plan unveiled by moscow's academy of sciences choice was told us that words alone kind cannot stay where it is now for a long time you have been successful

and here's the kicker the bureau of prisons did this reportedly at the request of an anonymous congressman and isolation is no joke human rights groups have said that the experience can be considered tantamount to torture and here is what a staff attorney from the center for constitutional rights had to say that isolation. bill are being cut off physically from their families in a way is that just sort of from their legitimate purpose whatsoever this is deeply upsetting the only two. clients who are incarcerated but also deeply destructive to their children and their status is to their loved ones. now to christopher's case he was given little exercise little fresh air and minimal contact with the outside world and his lawyer patrick shea said that his clients mental state started to visibly worse and after just three weeks now thankfully for christopher the new spark of public outcry fishel integrated him back into the general prison population and i took shape told us tim would still be in isolation but for a free press now prisoners in the federal system are thrown in isolation without d

visit him and also the judge recommended that he not be put inside maximum security now the bureau of prisons has the final say what where they put him but however from what i understand they cannot just play some california without explain to the judge why they did not adhere to her recommendations so hopefully he'll stay in the tri state area of. you know he should be expected to be moved anywhere from two to four weeks and it could be sooner it's a guessing game at this point but hopefully will stay close by for his attorneys now george i know that you have been following this case for quite some time on as we mentioned earlier you first met when you met with him back in thailand what what drew you to this case. well you know it's just interesting i was in thailand and. it was my fiance at the time and she happens to be russian and i was just a coincidence but. i was in thailand in bangkok actually when he got arrested it was front page of all the newspapers so you couldn't miss the case unless you weren't watching t.v. or arena newspapers at all it was such big news in thailand and then i

wait in line so it is completely replacing the face to face as is and i know that the federal bureau of prisons has even said that face to face visits are important for prisoners and some of the prisons that are adopting this do have the option talk a little bit about the significance that this is the only option here in d.c. because the district of columbia is unique among jurisdictions this is extremely important for keeping family connections d.c. unlike maybe maryland right next door virginia sends all of its prisoners who have a felony conviction into the federal bureau of prisons the closest location where you can visit somebody who is in the b o p is in winter in north carolina just south of the virginia border or in cumberland maryland if anyone's ever been out to deep creek lake they know that that's a pretty hefty drive in of itself also these people are mostly in rural areas so even if you wanted to go visit your family member in west virginia it would be in a location that would be hard to travel too expensive to stay overnight so this means that this window of opportunity that they

of a prison by the u.s. government the president thomson illinois and the state made the sale to the federal bureau of prisons for one hundred sixty five million dollars so here's what's causing concern for some several lawmakers and groups are concerned it will eventually be used to house inmates from one town i'm obey right now there are more than one hundred sixty inmates at guantanamo bay and several lawmakers say it was quote a backdoor move to import terrorists from guantanamo of going to animal bay into the united states the facility itself was built back in two thousand and one as a maximum security prison it's got sixteen hundred beds but has largely gone and used both you have obama administration and attorney general eric holder say it would not be used for get more detainees and it pointed out numerous times that moving inmates from get mo to the u.s. is barred by federal law still it is seen as a historic move and i spoke more about this earlier with politico's white house correspondent john king. well it's not a crazy idea because it was in fact the obama administration's idea the white house's

all we are saying is the bureau of prisons ought to be holding to the exact same requirements that all of the other departments and all the other burros must do in the -- bureaus must do in the federal government. and it forces government to cut costs and increase efficiencies. the other interesting thing is, with this section 212, we wonder oftentimes what does section 212 do? it exempts the bureau of prisons from doing this activity. this makes no sense to me, madam chair. this makes no sense to me that we would take an organization like the bureau of prisons and say, don't worry about it, folks. we trust you. we think you are doing this as efficiently as possible. well, madam chair, i believe in that old i had yom that ronald reagan came up with, trust, but verify. i would like to see the bureau of prisons do that exact thing. i think they ought to go out and demonstrate that they are doing these positions or these activities that they are. it's estimated, and this is from office of management and budget from july, 2003, page two of a report that they have, competitive sourcing cond
