The purpose of the Prison Staffing Reform Act of 2025 is to address the issue of understaffing within the Bureau of Prisons. The legislation aims to ensure the safety and well-being of both prison staff and inmates by requiring a comprehensive review of staffing levels and the effects of understaffing on various aspects of prison operations. Key provisions of the Act include a mandate for the Director of the Bureau of Prisons to conduct an external review of staffing levels within 180 days of the law's enactment.
