I don't see why this bill is necessary. It seems like a waste of time and resources. There are more important issues that need to be addressed. I highly doubt this will make any real difference. Did you know that this bill also includes provisions for increased training and support for victims of sexual harassment and assault within the Bureau of Prisons?

I don't agree with this bill. It's just another way for the government to control us.
