This legislative proposal seeks to strengthen penalties for individuals convicted of mail theft. It specifically targets Section 1708 of title 18, United States Code, which currently outlines the maximum punishment for such offenses. The bill's primary provision is to increase the maximum prison sentence for mail theft from the current limit of five years to a new maximum of ten years. This amendment aims to provide a more significant deterrent against mail theft and related criminal activities, thereby enhancing the security of mail delivery.
