End For-Profit Prisons Act of 2025

This bill would gradually end the federal government's use of private, for-profit companies to run prisons and halfway houses. It requires the Department of Justice to create guidelines for programs that help people transition back into their communities. The Bureau of Prisons would also be required to give prisoners information and counseling before they are released, covering topics like clearing their criminal records, finding jobs and education, signing up for public assistance, getting a driver's license, and registering to vote. Prisoners would also need to be told about any fines or payments they still owe after release.
