The PICTURE Act (Photographing Incarcerated Criminals To Update Records and Evidence Act) requires the Bureau of Prisons to create and maintain a photographic directory containing images of all federal prisoners currently in custody. Each photograph must show the prisoner's face clearly and without obstruction or covering. The bill amends federal law by adding a new requirement to the Bureau of Prisons' duties but does not specify new funding, implementation timelines, or which federal prisoners will be included in the system. This requirement would apply to the entire federal prison population under Bureau of Prisons supervision.
