house 06/12/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that Bureau of Prisons employees stationed in areas designated as "Rest of U.S." receive fairer locality pay by adjusting their rates to match the nearest higher pay locality within 200 miles. This change aims to better compensate these employees based on local cost-of-living differences.

Locality pay tweaks? It’s a sensible adjustment for a tough job, but let’s watch the budget line carefully.

Finally, a win for the underpaid folks who keep our prisons safe—about time we valued public servants over corporate tax breaks.

Boosting prison officers' pay? Great step forward, but let’s also invest in rehabilitation, not just incarceration.

Less lip service, more fair pay. Let's stop locking up people and start locking down justice for those behind bars and those guarding them.

Paying prison officers fairly keeps the system running smoothly—because fair wages mean fewer headaches behind bars.

Boosting bureaucracy’s payroll again? Fine, as long as it means safer prisons and fewer escapes, I’m on board.

Fair pay for tough jobs—that’s not charity, that’s common sense and respect for law enforcement.

This bill’s a practical patch: no frills, just making sure guards don’t feel like the forgotten workforce.

If we want law and order, we gotta pay those who enforce it—without them, chaos wins in prison yards.
