S. 307 — Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act

This section establishes congressional findings that inmate-on-staff sexual harassment and assault is widespread in Bureau of Prisons facilities, based on a 2023 Department of Justice Inspector General report examining all sanctioned incidents from fiscal years 2015 through 2021, and that the Bureau lacks adequate data collection and systems to evaluate mitigation strategies.

This section requires the Bureau of Prisons to fully implement all recommendations from the 2023 Inspector General report on sexual harassment and sexual assault by incarcerated individuals against staff within 90 days of enactment, or submit an explanatory report with a timeline. It directs the Inspector General to analyze data on such incidents from fiscal years 2022 through 2025, including punishments imposed over the prior five years, and to report findings and recommendations to Congress and the Attorney General. It requires the Attorney General to promulgate national standards for prevention, reduction, and punishment within one year after receiving the analysis.
