HR 3012 United States House · 119th Congress

Improving Reentry for District of Columbia Residents in the Bureau of Prisons Act of 2025

This bill requires the Bureau of Prisons to place District of Columbia residents sentenced under specific DC law in facilities within 250 miles of DC, unless the individual consents to further placement. It directly affects DC residents held in federal prisons who were sentenced while residing in the District. The key provision mandates this placement near DC, with exceptions only for "extraordinary circumstances" that require a written report to specific congressional committees within 30 days. The bill does not change existing rules for prerelease custody or supervised release transfers.
