Bill overview
This bill proposes a significant shift in how the Bureau of Prisons receives federal funding. It aims to restructure the Bureau’s budget by converting a portion of its funding into state block grants, mirroring the funding levels from 2019. The bill directs the Attorney General to develop and implement a plan to achieve this, allocating specific percentages of funds to states, the Department of Justice administration office, and the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General for oversight. This change would give states more control over how federal prison funds are used within their jurisdictions.
