Dear FAMMily, Last year, through your advocacy, we passed the Federal Prison Oversight Act. Unfortunately, the new law cannot go into effect until it is fully funded by Congress.
Sign-on to our petition in support a fully funded Federal Prison Oversight Act!
The Federal Prison Oversight Act would create long overdue comprehensive oversight of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The bill accomplishes this by: -
Empowering the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) to conduct independent, risk-based inspections of all 122 federal correctional facilities. Facilities with higher risk scores will undergo more frequent inspections.
-
Establishing a Correctional Ombudsman position, responsible for investigating complaints from incarcerated individuals and their representatives, family members, BOP staff and their representatives, Members of Congress, and the judiciary.
- Creating a secure hotline and online form for the submission of complaints, ensuring accessibility and transparency.
Together we can ensure full transparency and oversight of the Bureau of Prisons!
Help us fund oversight of the federal Bureau of Prisons today! https://act.famm.org/a/prison-oversight-act Sincerely, |
