This bill aims to stop fentanyl and other synthetic drugs from getting into federal prisons through the mail. It tells the Bureau of Prisons to evaluate current tools, then create and carry out a plan so all inmate mail is scanned and dangerous substances are caught before reaching people inside. It highlights that prison mail is a major way drugs are smuggled and notes overdose deaths have surged; a past digital mail-scanning pilot showed strong results at blocking contraband .

Under the plan, every piece of mail would be scanned, inmates would get a digital copy within 24 hours, and if the physical mail is clean, they would get the original within 30 days. Legal mail must still protect attorney–client privacy, and the system must reach 100% scanning across all federal prisons.

• Who is affected: People in federal prisons, prison staff, and anyone sending mail to inmates.
• What changes: Required mail scanning, quick digital delivery, later delivery of clean originals, and safeguards for legal mail; priority for higher-security and larger prisons when rolling out equipment and training.
• When: The Bureau must review current tools within 180 days of the law taking effect, submit its strategy 90 days after that, finish implementation within three years of submitting the plan, and file yearly progress reports after the strategy is submitted .
