Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
Preventing Violence Against Female Inmates Act of 2025 This bill establishes a framework to prohibit correctional institutions at the federal and state levels from housing inmates of one biological sex with inmates of the other biological sex. Specifically, the federal Bureau of Prisons may not co-locate inmates in detention facilities if they are not of the same biological sex, other than on a temporary basis that does not include overnight housing. States must certify that they have implemented the same requirements for their detention facilities in order to receive funds under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program.
