Bill Summary
A BILL To direct the Director of the Bureau of Prisons to provide information on certain persons under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Prisons to the Mayor of the District of Columbia, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Director of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to provide specific information every 90 days to the Mayor of the District of Columbia about individuals under BOP jurisdiction who were sentenced under the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997. The information includes the person's name, age, Federal Register Number, housing facility, and scheduled release date. Additionally, the Director must provide any information about these individuals that was previously shared with the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency when requested by the Mayor. However, the bill strictly limits how the Mayor can use this information: the Mayor cannot disclose the details to law enforcement agencies, but may share the basic information (name, age, etc.) with legal counsel or organizations that provide legal representation for criminal, post-conviction, or reentry matters. This legislation aims to support returning citizens by facilitating communication between federal prison authorities and local DC government while protecting individuals' privacy and potential legal interests.
