Bill forcing feds to fix prison cameras is signed into lawWASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden signed into law Tuesday a bill requiring the federal Bureau of Prisons to overhaul outdated security systems and fix broken surveillance cameras after rampant staff sexual abuse, inmate escapes and high-profile deaths.“Broken prison camera systems are enabling corruption, misconduct and abuse,” said the legislation’s sponsor, Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga. “That’s why I brought Republicans and Democrats together to pass my Prison Camera Reform Act, which is now law.”The Bureau of Prisons said in a statement that it “appreciates the work and support of Senator Ossoff and other members of Congress, as well as the President of the United States.”Failing and inadequate security cameras have allowed inmates to escape from federal prisons and hampered investigations.They’ve been an issue in inmate deaths, including that of financier Jeffrey Epstein at a federal jail in New York City in 2019.On the ballot in 2023: Southern governors, big-city mayorsBiden arrives in US Virgin Islands to relax between holidaysEXPLAINER: What happens if COVID asylum restrictions end?1st 2 years revealed President Biden's generational ambitionThe Justice Department’s internal watchdog found that deficiencies with security cameras have compromised investigations into staff misconduct, the introduction of contraband, civil rights violations and inmate deaths."
