Congressmen Glenn Grothman (R-WI) and Matt Cartwright (D-PA) have introduced the Bureau of Prisons Direct-Hire Authority Act, a bipartisan measure designed to address staffing shortages in Bureau of Prisons facilities. The legislation aims to streamline hiring processes and grant direct-hire authority until staffing levels reach 96 percent. This bill has received endorsement from eleven cosponsors and the Council of Prison Locals C-33 (CPL-33), the largest national union representing Bureau of Prisons employees.
