The flag of the Federal Bureau of Prisons doesn’t have much going for it, but I guess that’s kinda the point.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is supposed to be boring. There should be nothing flashy or headline grabbing connected with an agency charged with running facilities ranging from minimum-security “country club” facilities like Danbury Ct, to the country’s last remaining supermax prison, ADX Florence in Florence, Colorado. Like many agencies, It is simply the seal on a solid field.
If you are looking for an interesting flag among federal agencies, it is hard to beat the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency’s flag. Designed in 1799 by Treasury Secretary Oliver Wolcott, it leaves no doubt as to where you need to stop and pay your customs fees and import duties. It was the first flag designed specifically for an agency of the federal government.
