End For-Profit Prisons Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Latest action on H.R. 3612: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people held in federal custody and people preparing for release. It also affects federal prison workers, private prison companies, public and nonprofit facility operators, and the federal agencies that oversee these facilities.
Why this matters: The federal government now uses private companies to run some prisons and halfway houses. This bill would move key work to public employees or other non-for-profit operators. That shift could change prison conditions, staffing, costs, and the number or location of available facilities. New reports and inspections could improve oversight. Added release help could make it easier to return to the community, but the bill alone does not show how much it would reduce repeat offenses or improve employment.
