💨 Abstract

Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton has proposed a bill to require inmates convicted of D.C. felonies to serve their sentences in federal prisons within 250 miles of the District. The intent is to help inmates maintain relationships with families and support networks, improving their chances of successful reentry upon completion of their sentences. The bill acknowledges that there are enough existing Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities to house all such inmates.
