This bill wants to make sure that putting people in timeout, or solitary confinement, is only done when absolutely necessary, for a short time, and that they get proper check-ups and care while they’re there. It also creates a special helper called an Ombudsman to listen to people’s complaints and help make things better.

H.R. 8443 wants to help people in prison learn how to start their own businesses so they can find good jobs when they get out of jail. The bill suggests that important people work together to teach these prisoners about business plans and money, and keep helping them even after they are released.

H.R. 8948 is a rule suggestion that says prisoners shouldn't have to pay for health check-ups, unless they hurt someone else, in which case the one who caused the hurt would need to pay.

The bill is like a big homework assignment to make jails cleaner and healthier by checking the air and water regularly and helping the people living and working there know about any dangers, while giving some money to fix any big problems. But, there are some worries that it's not clear how they will use the money and check if everything is done right.

This bill wants to stop bad things from coming into jails through mail by checking all the letters using special tools and also giving prisoners a digital version of their mail. It also asks for a report every year to see how well this plan is working.
