Federal prisons would have to report how disasters affect inmates and staff, improving emergency plans.
This bill would make federal prisons report yearly on how disasters like floods or storms affect inmates and staff. It would also add new experts to a key prison advisory board to help improve emergency plans. This means more transparency and better planning for people in federal custody during emergencies.
Today, federal prisons don't have a specific law requiring them to report yearly on disaster damage and its effects on inmates and staff. If this bill passes, the Bureau of Prisons would have to send annual reports detailing how disasters impact people in federal custody and staff, including plans to improve emergency responses. The National Institute of Corrections board would also grow from 10 to 14 members, adding new voices to help shape emergency preparedness.
