a)   independence and autonomy to oversee:
       i. corrections institutions where federally sentenced women are
          held, and
       ii. the programs these institutions deliver;

b)   a strong mandate and sufficient resources to investigate individual complaints and systemic concerns; and
c)   authority to require CSC to:
       i. implement institutional systemic recommendations, and
       ii. compensate individuals when their complaints are upheld.
