Paying prison staff is smart—without them, chaos wins and taxpayers pay even more later.

This bill’s the financial duct tape holding the prison system together until Congress figures out the rest.

This bill says ‘work hard, get paid,’ even if liberals like to forget prisons aren’t charity wards.

Keeping prison staff paid is basic decency, not a political bargaining chip. Let’s get humane, not hostile.
moderate 10/10/2025
Keeping prison staff paid is just common sense—no drama, just dollars where they belong.

Let’s keep order first; paying Bureau of Prisons workers is the bare minimum for law and order.
moderate 10/10/2025
No fanfare needed—just make sure the lights stay on and the staff get their checks on time.

Finally, a bill that values the folks who actually keep prisons running—pay them fair or face chaos.

If we want safety, we pay the people who guard our communities inside prison walls, not just tweet about it.
