Research produced within the setting of an operating agency runs the risk of being subverted by the operational priorities and political practicalities facing the agency. Researchers and managers at the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) have successfully balanced the tension between the objectivity required of scientific research and the daily operations of their agency for over two decades. The discussion is framed by the challenges of conducting evaluation research, such as the TRIAD (Treating Inmates Addicted to Drugs) evaluation of residential drug treatment in the BOP and developing performance measures to compare pubic and private prisons
