S 307 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act

This bill requires the Bureau of Prisons to fully implement all recommendations from a 2023 Inspector General report on inmate-on-staff sexual harassment and assault within 90 days of enactment. It mandates the Bureau to provide updated data on such incidents from 2022-2025, which the Inspector General must analyze to assess prevention efforts and punishment practices. The Attorney General must then create national standards for preventing, reducing, and punishing these incidents within one year of receiving the analysis. The bill directly affects federal prison staff, including correctional officers, by establishing concrete requirements to improve their safety and address systemic data gaps.
