Due to financial limitations, employees at the federal prison in Sheridan were notified last week that they would no longer receive retention incentive pay in late March.
In order to solve a substantial financial gap inside the federal agency, the Federal Bureau of Prisons revealed that, starting of March 23, it is drastically cutting and in some cases removing retention incentives that were as high as 35% of base wage. It will affect 23,000 employees in 50 jails, the bureau said.
