Summary
The bill directs the Attorney General to create a grant program for states that have laws requiring repeat offenders to serve at least 85% of their sentences, impose pre‑trial detention for violent threats, and mandate life imprisonment for three separate violent crimes. States that meet these criteria can receive federal money to build and expand secure prisons and train correctional staff. The aim is to deter repeat violent crime by strengthening incarceration capacity.
