Prison Rape Prevention Act of 2025
This bill, titled "Prison Rape Prevention Act of 2025" (HR 1015), actually establishes rules for housing and medical care in federal prisons, not rape prevention. It requires the Bureau of Prisons to house and transport inmates only with others of the same biological sex (defined by reproductive anatomy) and prohibits providing gender-related medical treatments. This includes banning treatments like hormone therapy, surgeries (e.g., hysterectomy, phalloplasty), or puberty blockers for transgender inmates, except for specific medical conditions like disorders of sex development or injuries from prior treatments. The bill directly affects all federal prison inmates and applies only to the Bureau of Prisons.
