Bill > HR1206

This bill, the End For-Profit Prisons Act of 2021, aims to restrict the authority of the Attorney General to enter into contracts for federal correctional and community confinement facilities. Specifically, the bill will require that all core correctional services at federal prisons and facilities used by the U.S. Marshals Service be performed by federal government employees, with some exceptions. It also prohibits the Bureau of Prisons from contracting with for-profit entities to provide or manage community confinement facilities after an 8-year transition period. The bill also includes provisions for transitioning existing contracts, reporting on the federal prison population, researching programs and policies to reduce recidivism, and imposing duties on the Attorney General and Bureau of Prisons regarding the release of federal prisoners.
