Bill overview
This bill requires the Bureau of Prisons to prioritize housing individuals from the District of Columbia within 250 miles of the District when possible, starting two years after the law’s enactment. There are exceptions for ‘extraordinary circumstances’ where placement further away might be necessary, requiring a detailed explanation to Congress. The bill aims to improve reentry outcomes for District of Columbia residents incarcerated by ensuring closer proximity to their home community. It does not restrict the Bureau’s ability to place individuals in prerelease custody or transfer them for supervised release.
