Sovereign States Bureau of Prisons Restructuring Act of 2025

HR 3344 would redirect federal prison funding by converting 50% of Bureau of Prisons (BOP) funds to block grants for states, while maintaining 2019 funding levels as the baseline. The bill requires the Attorney General to develop a plan within 270 days and implement it within one year, directing 10% of funds to a DOJ office managing the grants and another 10% to the Office of Inspector General for oversight. This directly affects states receiving the block grants and the federal BOP, shifting control of a significant portion of prison funding from the federal government to state authorities. The legislation focuses on restructuring funding mechanisms rather than altering prison policies or inmate treatment.
