ABSTRACT: PTS contains court records and identifying data on each prisoner generated

custody while criminal proceedings are pending.

assigned tasks.
AGENCY PROGRAM: PTS supports the USMS responsibility for ensuring effective operation
of the judicial system by maintaining custody of Federal prisoners from the time of their arrest by
or remand to a U.S. Marshal by the court, until the prisoner is committed by order of the court for
the service of sentence, otherwise released from custody, or returned to the custody of the U.S.
Parole Commission or the Bureau of Prisons.
SOURCES OF DATA: Data contained in PTS is received from the prisoner, the courts, Federal,
