This bill would end the use of solitary confinement and other kinds of restrictive housing across all federal agencies and any facilities they contract with. It also sets minimum standards for how people are housed, aiming to improve safety and conditions in federal custody .

In practice, this means people held in federal prisons or detention centers—including those run by private companies under federal contracts—could no longer be isolated in solitary, and facilities would have to follow clear baseline rules for treatment and living conditions .

• Who is affected: People in federal custody and staff at facilities run by federal agencies or their contractors
• What changes: Solitary confinement and other restrictive housing are ended; minimum housing standards are required
• Where it applies: All federal facilities and any contracted facilities that hold people for federal agencies
• When: Would take effect if enacted into law (the text focuses on ending use and setting standards)
