Sec. 4081. Classification and treatment of prisoners
The Federal penal and correctional institutions shall be so planned
and limited in size as to facilitate the development of an integrated
system which will assure the proper classification and segregation of
Federal prisoners according to the nature of the offenses committed, the
character and mental condition of the prisoners, and such other factors
as should be considered in providing an individualized system of
discipline, care, and treatment of the persons committed to such
institutions.

339, Sec. 7, 46 Stat. 390).
Language of section is so changed as to make one policy for all
institutions, thus clarifying the manifest intent of Congress.
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
