Numbers are expected this week, with some components starting Friday or next week depending (if needed).

Since we all had to chip in to keep BOP up and running (again, I say let the criminals out on the street - if Feds aren't needed I'm sure convicts can run free) we are recalculating.

PP here - meant sarcastically.

Yes, until you are needed.

I work for DOJ. I don't think we were starting furloughs this week. Were some components starting this week?

I wonder how this is going to work.
