Bill overview
The Solitary Confinement Reform Act aims to reduce the use of solitary confinement and restrictive housing within the Bureau of Prisons and the United States Marshals Service. It establishes definitions for terms like ‘solitary confinement’ and ‘administrative segregation,’ and sets limits on its use, particularly for vulnerable populations and inmates with mental illness. The bill mandates a shorter duration for solitary confinement, requires a multidisciplinary review process, and seeks to eliminate special management units and administrative maximum facilities, while outlining specific procedures for transitional care and protective custody.
