The bill would require the Bureau of Prisons Director to submit annual reports to specified congressional committees, the Government Accountability Office, and the Department of Justice Inspector General on disaster damage at Bureau facilities and contract prisons. Reports would address effects on inmates and staff, including injuries, life loss, essential services, release and home-confinement decisions, visitation, disability accommodations, programs, grievances, costs, staffing, and civil rights, and would include corrective actions, implementation timelines, and legislative recommendations. Within 90 days after enactment, the Director would appoint an official responsible for the corrective action plan.
