Mark Inch, the now-former director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, stepped down from his post last week reportedly because of his strained relationship with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner.

Inch, a retired Army major general, claimed that he had been barred from weighing in on important decisions by Kushner and Sessions, and noted there was a disregard for “departmental norms,” according to a New York Times report published Thursday.

The director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Mark Inch, stepped down from his post last week due to his strained relationship with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, according to a report Thursday.

Inch, a retired Army major general, claimed that he had been barred from weighing in on important decisions by Kushner and Sessions, and noted there was a disregard for “departmental norms” when he announced he was resigning, The New York Times reports.

For example, Inch was excluded from budget decisions and also was kept out of conversations regarding a prison reform bill that the House recently approved, officials familiar with the situation told the Times.

Furthermore, Sessions dismissed Inch’s suggestions to hire Sara Revell, a regional prisons official, as his top deputy.

The report comes after Trump announced last week that he would approve a prison reform measure if lawmakers passed it. Earlier this week, the House approved prison reform legislation that attempts to reduce recidivism and enhanced education opportunities for federal prisoners, in addition to other things.

However, the future of the bill remains uncertain in the Senate, as leaders like Judiciary Committee Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, have said they will not back a prison reform bill unless it includes broader sentencing reforms.
