Correctional Facility Disaster Preparedness Act of 2026

S 3664, the Correctional Facility Disaster Preparedness Act of 2026, requires federal prisons and contracted facilities to submit annual reports after major disasters (like natural events or public health emergencies) detailing impacts on inmates and staff. The reports must include specific data on injuries, access to medical care, food, water, early release decisions, visitation rights, disability accommodations, and facility repair costs. The Bureau of Prisons must also develop a corrective action plan with a timeline to improve emergency preparedness and provide legislative recommendations to Congress. Additionally, the bill amends the National Institute of Corrections to add new expertise requirements for its board members and mandates public hearings on integrating disaster planning into facility operations.
