Lieutenant Osvaldo Albarati Stopping Prison Contraband Act
This bill amends federal law to increase penalties for providing prohibited objects, specifically phones, to inmates. It adds up to 2 years in prison for knowingly supplying such phones, as defined in existing law. The bill also requires the Bureau of Prisons to review and update its policies within one year to better prevent inmates from obtaining prohibited items like phones, aiming to improve safety for both incarcerated people and staff. The policy review must focus on handling inmates who make, possess, or attempt to obtain these prohibited objects.
