Bill overview
This bill, the PICTURE Act, would require the Bureau of Prisons to create and maintain a photographic directory of all federal prisoners currently in their custody. The directory would include a clear, unobstructed photograph of each prisoner’s face. This photographic record aims to update existing records and provide visual evidence for legal proceedings and other purposes. The bill specifically amends existing law to establish this new requirement.
