Summary
The bill lets local jail officials accept federal detainees only through a pre‑approved contract that includes full payment for the cost of confinement. If the United States fails to pay, the jail must stop holding those detainees. It also bars contracts for detainees moved across state lines unless a valid judicial warrant exists.
