Bill overview
This bill, the Promoting Reentry through Education in Prisons Act (PREP Act), aims to improve prison education programs by creating an Office of Prison Education within the Bureau of Prisons. It seeks to ensure access to quality education across all federal prisons, establish a repository of best practices for state and local institutions, and foster partnerships with education providers. The bill is driven by evidence showing that education reduces recidivism, increases employment rates for inmates, and provides a significant return on investment for taxpayers.
