Bill overview
This bill, the Correctional Facilities Occupational Safety and Health Act of 2023, aims to extend federal workplace safety and health protections to incarcerated workers in correctional facilities, including those participating in prison work programs. It requires states to incorporate these protections into their occupational safety and health plans and establishes a grant program to assist states in amending their laws and enforcing safety standards for incarcerated workers. The Bureau of Prisons is also directed to ensure its safety program applies to incarcerated workers similarly to its employee program, and the bill includes reporting requirements to Congress and the Department of Justice to monitor conditions and compliance.
