To examine SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) epidemiology and risk factors among Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) staff in the United States. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. We calculated the SARS-CoV-2 case rate among 37\u2009640 BOP staff from March 12 to June 17, 2020, using payroll and COVID-19\u2013specific data. We compared occupational factors among staff with and without known SARS-CoV-2 using multiple logistic regression, controlling for demographic characteristics. We calculated relative risk among staff in stand-alone institutions versus complexes (&gt;\u20091 institution). <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. SARS-CoV-2 was reported by 665 staff across 59.8% of institutions, a case rate of 1766.6 per 100\u2009000. Working in dorm-style housing and in detention centers were strong risk factors, whereas cell-based housing was protective; these effects were erased in complexes. Occupational category was not associated with SARS-CoV-2. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. SARS-CoV-2 infection was more likely among staff working in institutions where physical distancing and limiting exposure to a consistent set of staff and inmates are challenging. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Public Health Implications. Mitigation strategies\u2014including augmented staff testing, entry and exit testing among inmates, limiting staff interactions across complexes, and increasing physical distancing by reducing occupancy in dorm-style housing\u2014may prevent SARS-CoV-2 infections among correctional staff. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2021.306237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,15]],"date-time":"2021-04-15T20:02:20Z","timestamp":1618516940000},"page":"1164-1167","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among Correctional Staff in the Federal Bureau of Prisons"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"111","author":[{"given":"Robin L.","family":"Toblin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Robin L.
