house 07/10/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure greater accountability and oversight of the Bureau of Prisons by requiring that its Director be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, aligning this role with other key law enforcement leaders. This change promotes transparency and stability through a fixed 10-year term.
