The Corrections Information Council (CIC) is mandated by the federal and District governments to monitor and inspect the prisons, jails, and halfway houses where District residents convicted of D.C. Code offenses are incarcerated. The facilities to be monitored and inspected include all Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities, Department of Corrections facilities, and contract facilities where District residents are incarcerated. The CIC reports its findings and commendations on conditions of confinement to the Mayor, City Council, the District's Congressional representatives, corrections agency heads, and the community.
