Additionally, the bill requires the Bureau of Prisons to develop and implement policies and procedures for reporting and investigating allegations of sexual harassment and assault. These policies will ensure that victims are provided with support and that perpetrators are held accountable for their actions.
Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for the collection of data on incidents of sexual harassment and assault within the Bureau of Prisons. This data will be used to track trends and identify areas where additional prevention and intervention efforts are needed.
Overall, Bill 119 HR 868 seeks to create a safer and more supportive environment for Bureau of Prisons staff by addressing the serious issue of sexual harassment and assault. By implementing training programs, policies, and data collection measures, the bill aims to prevent future incidents and ensure that victims receive the support and justice they deserve.
