Durbin, Ossoff, Braun Introduce Bipartisan Legislation To Overhaul Federal Prison Oversight

Press Release

"In recent years, management of our federal prison system has been riddled with scandals and missteps. Since I've held the gavel of the Judiciary Committee, we've taken an active role in helping to restore integrity to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, including calling for a new BOP Director, holding oversight hearings, and leading numerous responses to reports on solitary confinement, First Step Act implementation, and misconduct by officials. Today's bill is the latest step in support of that mission to improve oversight and fulfill one of the fundamental purposes of the prison system: to provide safe and humane conditions of confinement and ensure the successful return of incarcerated individuals to the community."
