The 'GM' population designation likely refers to a specific demographic or security level within the Federal Bureau of Prisons system. Understanding this designation is crucial for assessing the required level of supervision, support services, and associated costs. Services for higher-risk or specialized needs populations typically command higher per-unit costs due to increased staffing and monitoring requirements.
