Correctional Facility Disaster Preparedness Act of 2023

This bill requires the Bureau of Prisons to submit annual reports after major disasters (like natural disasters or public health emergencies) affecting federal or contracted correctional facilities. The reports must detail impacts on inmates and staff, including access to medical care, food, water, and legal visitation; decisions about early release or home confinement; disability accommodations; and repair costs. It also mandates the Bureau to create a corrective action plan for improving emergency preparedness and include specific legislative recommendations. Additionally, the National Institute of Corrections must add new expertise to its board and hold public hearings on integrating disaster planning into facility operations. The bill directly affects federal prisons, contracted facilities, and the inmates/staff within them by standardizing post-disaster reporting and planning.
