COVID-19 in Corrections Data Transparency Act

This act aims to increase transparency of COVID-19 data in federal, state, and local correctional facilities. It requires reporting information on testing, results, hospitalizations, deaths, and vaccinations among incarcerated persons and staff.
Key points
Increased COVID-19 data availability: Information on tests, results, hospitalizations, deaths, and vaccinations in prisons will be publicly accessible.
Mandatory reporting: The Bureau of Prisons, the United States Marshals Service, and state and local correctional facilities must regularly submit data to the CDC and publish it on their websites.
Consequences for non-compliance: States failing to comply may face a 10% reduction in specific federal grant funding (Byrne grant).
Privacy protection: Collected data must be de-identified to protect individual identities and used for public health purposes.
