This bill establishes a new grant program, administered by the Attorney General, to help states discourage repeat offenders by providing $10 billion in funding for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. To be eligible, states must have laws requiring repeat offenders to serve at least 85 percent of their sentence , mandating pretrial detention for violent crime suspects posing a public safety threat, and imposing life imprisonment for individuals convicted of three distinct violent offenses. States receiving these grants must use the funds to construct secure correctional facilities, expand operational capacity for incarcerating violent offenders, and train and support correctional staff. This initiative aims to enhance public safety by strengthening state-level enforcement and incarceration capabilities for repeat violent offenders.
