Plain-English Summary
This bill would increase pay and benefits for federal prison guards and other correctional officers who work for the Bureau of Prisons, aiming to help the government compete with state prisons and private employers when hiring and keeping experienced staff. The measure addresses concerns that low federal correctional officer salaries have made it difficult to recruit qualified workers and have contributed to staffing shortages in federal prisons. Federal employees and the Bureau of Prisons would be the main groups affected by any pay adjustments this bill might authorize.
