The bill would require the Bureau of Prisons Director, subject to advance annual appropriations, to provide postage stamps to eligible inmates who wish to mail any matter. The Director would have to impose restrictions to prevent abuse, which may include a general limit of five stamps per week, with exceptions for legal-proceeding and administrative-remedy mail. The stamps would be limited to first-class domestic one-ounce postage, and the program would begin no later than six months after enactment.
