Expand oversight and accountability for prison contractors

Warren proposes creating an independent Prison Conditions Monitor within the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General. The Monitor would set enforceable quality standards, audit and investigate contractors, and terminate contracts when providers fall short. She also proposes closing a Freedom of Information Act loophole for private prison subcontractors, prosecuting companies that blatantly violate the law, and allowing people to sue abusive contractors for violating their rights.
