WASHINGTON ― The federal Bureau of Prisons has quietly fired an education specialist the Justice Department hired to serve as the first “superintendent” of the educational system within federal prisons, HuffPost has learned. Lopez was fired last week ― leaving the future of the reform efforts under President Donald Trump in doubt. “They’re shitcanning it,” a person who worked on the prison reform efforts disclosed to HuffPost this week. Lopez “uprooted her whole life” to take the job as superintendent of the BOP’s education, according to a person who worked on the efforts. In November, Lopez left a job in Texas, where she had worked as an educator in the prison system.
