Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The Rehabilitation Through Reading Act of 2026 requires the Bureau of Prisons to establish an independent Publication Review Committee to oversee decisions to prohibit books at federal prison facilities. The committee must include at least five members, including the Federal Prison Ombudsman, a professional librarian, an incarcerated individual, and a First Amendment law expert. Books may only be prohibited if the Director submits a written request with detailed justification and the committee approves it, provided the prohibition is not based on suppressing disfavored viewpoints or content. Incarcerated individuals may appeal book prohibitions, and the Director must submit annual reports to Congress detailing all prohibited books and appeal outcomes.
