Quiver AI Summary
Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) has introduced the Preventing Violence Against Female Inmates Act, aiming to prohibit the Bureau of Prisons from housing male inmates in women's prisons. The proposed legislation would only allow federal inmates to be placed according to their biological sex and impose penalties on states not adhering to these guidelines.
Cotton stated, "Prisoners should be placed based on their biological sex, not on what they chose to ‘identify’ as," citing concerns over increased risks of sexual assault for women housed with male inmates. The bill includes provisions for withholding federal grants from states that do not comply.
The legislation explicitly bars the housing of prisoners of different biological sexes together and reflects ongoing debates regarding prison policies and the rights of transgender individuals. Text of the bill can be accessed through Cotton's official website.
