AT&T Government Solutions was awarded a contract extension for operating the National Repository for Detention Space Availability. The online repository provides the latest information on where bed space is available for housing inmates.
The U.S. Marshals Service, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and other agencies access the database. AT&T will both certify and accredit the repository for the length of the five-year extension. Law enforcement officials had to call individual prisons to check for available bed space before the database was formed.
