The main purpose of this legislation, known as the "Stop Prison Price Gouging Act of 2026," is to ensure that the prices for items sold in the commissaries of Bureau of Prisons facilities are fair and not excessively marked up. The goal is to protect incarcerated individuals from being charged more than what similar goods would cost in the general market. Key provisions of the law require the Director of the Bureau of Prisons to set prices for commissary goods at or below the fair market value for those items in the state where the prison is located.
