Bill > HR5585

This bill requires that the Federal Performance Based Detention Standards (FPBDS), which were originally published by the United States Marshal Service, be applied to all immigration detention facilities when contracts are entered into or renewed. Specifically, the bill mandates that in addition to any existing contractual standards for facilities where individuals are detained under immigration laws, these federal standards must be implemented. This means that any entity operating an immigration detention facility—whether a government agency, private contractor, or local jurisdiction—would need to comply with the FPBDS when establishing or renewing their detention agreements. The bill aims to create a uniform set of standards for the treatment and conditions of immigrants in detention, potentially ensuring more consistent and potentially more humane detention practices across different facilities and jurisdictions. The standards would take effect immediately upon the bill's enactment, applying to both new and renewed detention facility agreements.
