New Mail Screening Rules for Federal Prisons
This act aims to enhance safety in federal prisons by implementing new mail screening methods. This is intended to prevent dangerous substances, such as fentanyl, from entering facilities. For citizens, this means that correspondence with inmates will first be digitally scanned, with physical copies delivered later, to protect both staff and inmates.
Key points
Federal prisons will be required to implement a strategy to interdict fentanyl and other synthetic drugs in postal mail.
Inmate mail will be digitally scanned first, with a digital copy delivered within 24 hours; physical copies, if safe, will arrive within 30 days.
The act aims to reduce drug overdoses in prisons and improve the safety of staff and inmates.
