This bill makes the federal prison system share basic information with the District of Columbia about people serving time for DC felonies. Every 90 days, the Bureau of Prisons must give the DC Mayor each person’s name, age, inmate number, where they are held, and their scheduled release date. The goal is to help DC plan for reentry and support services before people come home. The bill also limits who can see this information to protect privacy. It can be shared with DC agencies that are not law enforcement, with a person’s lawyer, and with groups that offer legal or reentry help, but not with DC law enforcement agencies.

Key points

• Who is affected: People convicted of DC felonies who are in federal prisons; DC government (non-law enforcement) agencies; legal and reentry service providers.
• What changes: The Bureau of Prisons must send DC regular updates every 90 days and, on request, other information it already shares with DC’s supervision agency. Disclosure is limited to protect privacy and explicitly excludes DC law enforcement.
• When: Updates are required every 90 days.
