End For-Profit Prisons Act of 2025

The End For-Profit Prisons Act of 2025 would end federal contracts with for-profit companies for core prison services - such as housing, safety, and discipline - in federal prisons and community confinement facilities. It requires the Bureau of Prisons and U.S. Marshals Service to transition to using federal employees for these services within 6 years (for prisons) and 8 years (for community confinement), with limited exceptions for state/local facilities meeting all standards. The bill also mandates annual facility inspections, regular reports on prison demographics (including race and gender), and new reentry support for released prisoners, such as information on job programs and benefits like Medicaid. These changes directly affect federal correctional agencies, for-profit prison operators, and incarcerated individuals.
