We don't know who the photographer was, or whether it was taken in the course of employment. Photographer could have a copyright claim. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions#Images_from_Bureau_of_Prisons_Website 66.173.140.100 13:02, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
- Unless you see separate photo credits, on a U.S. Government website you must assume that the U.S. government directly had the photo taken.
- Only use the "this is a nonfree" card if you have evidence that someone else took the picture.

- I respect your views. However, I read Wikipedia policy as saying you can't assume, and must have some basis for the selection of a particular template because you are certain that "it is a work of the United States Federal Government" and not of a Government contractor. For example, {{PD-USGov-DOJ}} requires you to state it is the work of "a United States Department of Justice employee, taken or made during the course of an employee's official duties."
- Now there is an inquiry into whether this particular image is free or not free. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:15, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
