BOP trains their people to be correctional workers, not law enforcement officers I’ve seen BOP creds, and you don’t need anything more than that Try to make an arrest … you’re not trained for that, and have extremely limited authority If an arrest is made on prison grounds, it’s the USMS, FBI, or OIG
