Officially: Prison Staffing Reform Act of 2025
Federal prisons would have to get an outside review of staffing shortages and make a plan to fix them. The review covers safety, health care, prison programs, and worker overtime. The Bureau of Prisons would then have three years to carry out the plan if Congress provides the money.
