Lieutenant Osvaldo Albarati Stopping Prison Contraband Act

This bill (S 5284) amends federal law to increase penalties for providing prohibited items, specifically cell phones, to inmates in federal prisons. It adds a maximum 2-year prison sentence for individuals who provide phones to inmates, as defined under existing rules. The bill also requires the Bureau of Prisons Director to review and update their policies within one year regarding inmates who possess or attempt to obtain prohibited objects, aiming to improve safety for both incarcerated people and staff. The law directly affects prison staff, inmates, and those who might attempt to smuggle contraband into federal facilities.
