PICTURE Act

This bill mandates the Director of the Bureau of Prisons to create and maintain a comprehensive photographic directory of all federal prisoners. The central requirement is that this directory must contain a photograph of every individual currently in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons. Each photograph must clearly show an uncovered and unobstructed view of the prisoner's face , ensuring accurate visual identification. This legislation achieves its purpose by amending chapter 301 of title 18, United States Code, adding a new section to codify this directive. The overall intent is to improve federal prisoner records and provide current photographic evidence.
