Sec. 345.35  Assignments to FPI.

    (a) An inmate or detainee may be considered for assignment with FPI 
unless the inmate is a pretrial inmate or is currently under an order of 
deportation, exclusion, or removal. However, an inmate or detainee who 
is currently under an order of deportation, exclusion, or removal may be 
considered for assignment with FPI if the Attorney General has 
determined that the inmate or detainee cannot be removed from the United 
States because the designated country of removal will not accept his/her 
return. Any request by an inmate for consideration must be made through 
the unit team. FPI does not discriminate on the bases of race, color, 
religion, ethnic origin, age, or disability.
    (b) The SOI ordinarily makes assignments based on the recommendation 
of the unit team.
    (1) New workers are ordinarily assigned at pay grade five. All 
first-time inmate workers shall enter at pay grade five and may be 
required to successfully complete a course in pre-industrial training or 
on-the-job training (as available) before promotion to pay grade four.
    (2) An inmate who has not successfully completed pre-industrial or 
on-the-job training remains at pay grade five for at least 30 days.
    (3) An inmate hired after having resigned voluntarily from FPI may 
be excused from pre-industrial training and may be hired at a pay grade 
based on previous training and experience.
