May 23, 2024 – This afternoon, U.S. Congressman Anthony D’Esposito (NY-04) introduced the “Safer Prisons Act of 2024.” This legislation serves as the House of Representatives' companion to Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s (R-TN) legislation of the same name. If adopted, this legislation would double the maximum term of imprisonment for those convicted of assaulting a federal Bureau of Prisons correctional officer.
“As a retired NYPD detective, I was proud to work hand in hand with brave federal BOP corrections officers. These men and women play a critical role in our justice system and deserve the full support of Congress. I’m proud to join Sen. Blackburn in introducing this legislation to combat the rising tide of attacks on correctional officers.”
