Marc Fischer Memorial Act

Sponsored By: Representative Bacon, Don [R-NE-2]

Introduced

Summary

Would create a national plan to stop fentanyl and other synthetic drugs entering federal prisons by mail. It would direct the Bureau of Prisons Director to evaluate mail-scanning tools, build a technology and staffing plan, and set timelines and budgets for implementation.

Show full summary
  • Inmates and staff: Aims to protect staff and people in custody from exposure by moving to 100 percent mail scanning and requiring a digital copy of each inmate’s mail within 24 hours and delivery of the original within 30 days if it is safe.
  • Legal mail and attorneys: Would require a legal mail process that verifies senders while preserving attorney-client privilege as required by law.
  • Operations and budget: Would force the Bureau to assess needed equipment, training, staffing, and maintenance and include an equipment and technology budget proposal for fiscal years 2025 through 2027.
  • Oversight and timing: Calls for an evaluation within 180 days, a strategy submission after that evaluation, full implementation within 3 years of the strategy, and annual reports on interdiction results and efficiency.

Scan all mail at federal prisons

This bill would require the Bureau of Prisons to review mail-scanning and drug-detection tools within 180 days. Within 90 days after the review, the Bureau would plan to scan all mail at federal prisons. Each inmate would get a digital copy within 24 hours, and a safe original within 30 days, with delivery logged. Legal mail would use verified senders and keep attorney‑client privilege. The plan would list equipment, services, staff, training, maintenance, a budget for fiscal years 2025–2027, and deployment priorities. Work would need to finish within 3 years after plan submission, depending on future funding.
