S.307

Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act

Chamber Passed·5/5/25

Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act aims to address sexual harassment and assault of Bureau of Prisons staff.

The Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act responds to findings that inmate-on-staff sexual harassment and assault is widespread in Bureau of Prisons facilities. The Act mandates the Bureau to implement recommendations from a 2023 Inspector General report, which found inadequate data collection and ineffective mitigation strategies. The Bureau must fully implement these recommendations within 90 days of the Act's enactment. The Inspector General will analyze updated data on incidents from fiscal years 2022 through 2025 and report to Congress and the Attorney General.
