  <title><![CDATA[Religious Beliefs and Practices: Nomenclature Change ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-29-03-31703</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Bureau amends its regulations on religious beliefs and
practices to rename the special diet with which it accommodates
inmates' religious dietary practices. The special diet, formerly known
as the common fare menu, will now be called the religious diet menu.
This change in name is necessary in order to reflect more equitably the
variety of faith groups with religious dietary needs.

  <title><![CDATA[Administrative Safeguards for Psychiatric Treatment and Medication]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2003-12-29-03-31704</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) amends its
regulations on Psychiatric Treatment and Medication. We make several
minor word changes to conform more closely with the language of 18
U.S.C. 42414247 on psychiatric hospitalization. We remove from the
rule two elements of the standard for determining whether treatment or
psychotropic medication is necessary because this element is
inconsistent with community standards and case law. We also change the
rules to conform with statutory authority regarding military prisoners
and District of Columbia (DC) Code violators in Bureau custody.
Previously, our procedures for involuntary psychiatric treatment and
medication did not apply to military prisoners or DC Code violators.
Under new statutory authority, military prisoners who are incompetent
to stand trial, or who have been found not guilty by reason of lack of
mental responsibility may now be committed to the Bureau's custody.
Sentenced DC Code offenders may now be involuntarily committed to a
Bureau <script type="text/javascript">
