RE: https://drive.google.com/file/a/1bL 4CR8hOuXBYQ Ite 9CP FsdE8felb7f2MR/view?usp= sharing.
Attn I received your most favorable response dated August 18" 2022 concerning the enclosed federal legislative proposal I drafted concerning Rehabilitation, Recreation and Recitivism from the federal Bureau of Prisons.
Since my initial inquiry, an EX of an EX may have assisted with my initial digitalization but unsure how refined the file looks. At that point, I still was not as impressed with the title I named it but I feel the enclosed reflects better to be flashy and descript enough to 2 draw interest but not too generous to prisoners that would draw a negative impression. It still feels like a challenge in drawing support but being able to wrap it within an accessible weblink to a direct Pdf file as you inferred along with any other future proposals and words of encouragement.
My hope that at least one Congressional member to sponsor what is written either in whole or in part to give that first step for committee review and possible chamber's floor for a vote. Maybe this bill could be incorporated within so many omnibus "spending" bills that could give it a better opportunity for consideration. I also tried to keep this proposal fairly neutral both financially and politically by having minimal cost requirements and asking for aspects supporting humanity without over indulging with pipe dreams Le.g. Extra Good time from that 85% to only 80% and not that mythical unicorn of 65%]
I thank you in advance for whatever you may do to Re-scan this document, making any simple corrections [e.g spelling] and placement on that free Word Press site, along with any other words of encouragement you feel appropriate. I supplied my last copy, single sided, of my latest edition along with a copy of a first edition I called the Amenities Act plus in a booklet format. If appropriate, if you want 3 to illustrate the evolution of this process.
This entire process has been an eye opening experience that taught me more about the ugly truth that is never explained in any K-12 classroom or and news media report with any true perspective how the system creates an illusion of safety nets the evaporates in a puff of smoke during a foggy morning when the parachute is needed the most.
Respectfully Yours

P.S. As you may note, the enclosed edition has a different name than the Google drive. I updated the first two pages to specify next years Congress session and the name of the bill.

TITLE I -- CONGRESSIONAL INTENTIONS
Sec 101. CONGRESSIONAL INTENT. The following legislation promotes the safety and security of the Federal Bureau of Prisons confinement while addressing the general well being of individuals housed within by first re- 15 evaluating the No Frills Prison Act proposed by New Jersey Representative Dick Zimmer within the Contract with America in 1995. Mr. Zimmer's press releases Legislation to End Prison Perks Wins Endorsements, (January 31, 1995) and Close the Door on Federal 'Glamour Slammers' (February 9, 1995), also contained within the 147 Congressional Record H-7751 and H-7768 (circa July 1995). A portion of this bill proposal was included in the Omnibus Budget Act of Fiscal Year 1997 commonly known and henceforth referred as the 'Zimmer Amendment', Public Law 104- 134, Title 1, $101(a) [Title VI, $611], 110 Stat. 132-64 (renumbered May 2, 1996, Public Law 104-140, $1(a), 110 Stat. 1327); September 30, 1996, Public Law 104-208, Div A, Title I, §101 (a) [Title VI, 5
§611], 110 Stat. 3009-66; November 26, 1997, Public Law 105-227, Div A, §101(b) [Title VI, §611], 112 Stat. 2681-113; 3 November 29, 1999, Public Law 106.113, Div B, $1000(a) (1) [Title VI, §612], 113 Stat. 1501A-54; December 21, 2000, Public Law 106-553, §1(a) (2), 114 Stat. 2672 (enacting into law §611 of title VI of H.R. 5548 (114 Stat. 2672A-105), as introduced on October 25, 2000): and in its perminate form, Public Law 107-77, Title VI, §611, 115 Stat. 800.
The legislation history within the annual budget for the 'Amenities and Personal Comforts' were enacted within the notes of title 18, United States Code, section 4042 concerning the government not to provide funding for these 'frills' including purchasing in-cell televisions, weight lifting equipment, electrified musical instruments, and martial arts training aids. It also prohibits a large swatch of academy award winning movies because of its prohibitions on certain rated movies.
The language of the legislation has been challenged in the court(s) including case Kimberlin vs. United States DOJ, 318 F.3d 228 (D.C. Cir., Feb. 11, 2003). The court agreed with the government that the provisions from the Zimmer Amendment dictates that the Bureau of Prisons is prohibited funding of the electricity along with the television set itself despite Congress rejecting this initial inclusion of within the original failed bill H.R.663, No Frills Prison Act in addition to the physical television set itself. 6
This act intends to clarify that the initial Zimmer Amendment specifies that the Bureau of Prisons is to only limit the payment of individual items and not the subsequent
aspect of in cell television ownership. This clarification would allow inmates to purchase their own television sets for in-cell viewing during and beyond the national emergency that has been the COVID pandemic. The federal correctional environment has expanded to become an over populated space and reforms that promote the safety and security of the institution in conjunction of the health of the staff and inmate population.
In addition to the televisions themselves, technology has advanced the methods of communication abilities beyond the 1995 concept and value system. With this in mind, the movie availability is to be re-evaluated because of changes in the social value system by removing the prohibition of rated R movies (except for movies and/or documentaries that promote and/or demonstrate methods on how to break out of a prison). Basic cable showcases movies unedited from its theatrical release including each aspect of why it received an R rating. An NBC News" article by Melissa Dahl points out that many movies from the 1980s, like Terminator or Die Hard were rated R at the time of their release -- but if released today, they'd probably be rated PG-13. This theory is supported by sequals of both movies which contains relatively more gun violence than their predecessor received
7 a PG-13 rating. The population incarcerated by the Bureau of Prisons are convicted as adults and the selection of movies should reflect as such (while still maintaining the restrictions on pornographic in nature depictions).
Technological advancement considerations that align with several state Department of Correctional systems have implemented the availability of secured hand held digital tablets for their inmate populations. This implementation demonstrate the viability of allowing prisoners access to such devices. Implimentation of a deadline for the Bureau of Prisons to start offering for sale and supporting infrastructure for the physical usage of such tablets. The proposal within Title II of this act would codify and modify the Zimmer Amendment to reflect these mandates upon the Bureau of Prisons.
Continuing with continuing communication connection concerns with family and friends by expanding the CARES Act phone calls that were free to inmates during the times of the national emergency because of COVID to continue indefinately after the national emergency expires. In Title
III. additional communication pprovisions which include the Trust Fund public messaging (e-mail) system operatational procedures and to mandate availability access with physical mail sent through the United States Postal Service®, especially pictures from home. The encouragement of maintaining contact with family by providing complimentary material (envelopes, writing pads, and pencil/pen) to the population on a complimentary schedule. Also, expand the availability of phone services to extend to individual time zones to ensure family may be reached after their prior
and/or after their employment obligations.
With the safety and security being the top priority for this legislation, Title IV is designed to reduce the gang affiliations within the Bureau of Prisons by offering and encouraging elective tattoo removal services. These services in the long term will help maintain a safer environment for the people and assist in preparing for re- entry needs beyond incarceration.
Health concerns for those incarcerated without compromising the good order of each institution with Title
V. These provisions particularly address the standards that lacked during the COVID pandemic and benefit the health and well being of the population in the event of any future outbreaks. Additional entertainment considerations are included in Title VI designed to pacify the population to ensure cooperation and safety between the staff and inmate populations.
Title VII addresses re-entry concerns including clarification for the First Step Act when obtaining photo identification. Help to reduce the waste and pallet fatigue because of the manotaney of eaching the same meal too 9
frequently, a greater rotation of food items. The menu should be palletable to a larger array of the population by ensuring the civilian Bureau of Prisons incarcerated population should eat comparable to those housed in the military prison system. These menu items (without considering it a 5-star gourmet delicacy) but be appropriate for general consumption for the regional utilization and with staff participation of consumption of the meal at no charge to demonstrate that food quality does not fall below acceptable standards. [If employees are unwilling to each the same food items provided to the inmates, it demonstrates a quality issue].
Drawing success from state facility programs across the nations correctional systems by preparing inmates for the needs of todays [and tomorrows] employers. The re-entry preparation needed is even greater now. Within Title VII, the Bureau of Prisons with a partnership with the Department of Education shall provide a dedicated secured online portal for inmates to access approved post.secondary educational facilities. The largest hurdle for inmates [besides financial] is access to these educational resources online. The creation of a dedicated secured portal will provide an avenue not before had for certification and/or degree program(s). An secured online access by means of a dedicated secured computer terminal and/or the secured tablets as mentioned earlier. 10
Along with state facility examples designed to keep family connections, Title IX creates another online electronic commerce website for family member(s). The commercial site is designed to allow visitation approved individuals the ability to purchase gifts [care packages] for their 'loved' ones incarcerated based on a frequency considerations because of an inmate's security level. This type of program demonstrated in several states and local ran facilities show the viability of such a program with a minimal impact for prison staff and shows compassion for the imprisoned population.
Title x creates a consistent access to art and other supplies based upon an individual's security level designation for personal purchases from a Trust Fund® commissary and or Special Purchase Order (SPO) from approved vendors. Items include recreational activies, health & fitness, and other. Title XI expands access to law library resources. Federal prisoners may need access to state and civil resources for situations beyond the federal criminal prosecution. The Bureau of Prisons shall provide at least these bare minimums but not limited to these items with either a physical 'book' or electronic resources that is accessible on the established electronic law library with 2 full search functionality through all databases and via the hand held secured tablet [as indicated earlier]. Requiring 11
the electronic resources to be updated at a minimum on a weekly basis to ensure more current access availability of state and federal case law. Expansion of the digital library to include additional resources that may be 'checked out' onto the personal secured tablets. The provision to obtain access to word processors and/or personal typewriters to ensure legible legal items (i.e. letters and briefs) are professionally presentable and accepted by the courts and 9 other venues.
Finally, Title XII addresses several procedural issues within the criminal justice system. This include an increase to the allowable Good Conduct Time credit calculations from approximately 85 percent (up to 54 days ) to approximately 80 percent (up to 73 days) for the total amount of time required to be served. Adjusting an individual's confinement accredited during pre-trial restrictions caused by Global Positioning System (GPS) monitoring at home to be counted towards the current sentence by the Bureau of Prisons. Allowing a defendant pro se arguments to the court in conjunction with assigned counsel by a revision of the 'hybrid representation! statute. Restrictions placed upon a person created by a plea agreement waiver from obtaining exculpatory evidence shall furthermore be unenforceable despite of a Freedom of Information Act waiver included in such criminal plea agreement. Such restrictions violate a person's Due Process
12
rights and violate Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S. Ct. 2 1194 (May 13, 1963).
This same Title section also addresses some post incarceration supervision aspects along with providing a guarantee the right to vote for all citizens despite current and/or previous felony conviction. Technological advancements demands society to move in a quicker pace. This ability to process evidence quicker than ever before demonstrates law enforcement has the tools required to accurately process eviced quickly. Because of this, re.evaluation of the 1948 change within the non-capital Statute of Limitations that extended three years to five years before a suspect must be charged with the crime. This change shall be reverted back to its pre-1948 time frame of three years as delay in prosecution is at no fault of the citizen and if an indictment is not brought in this reasonable amount of time only helps the government in their case.
While all of these additional provisions in addition to
re-evaluating the original Zimmer Amendment are addressed in this legislation. The text should be taken as liberally as possible in favor of the individual. The rights of all people, including those who have a felony conviction, while maintaining the safety and security throughout the Bureau of Prisons infrustructure is the top priority.

TITLE 1 -- CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS Sec 101. CONGRESSIONAL INTENT.
The following legislation is to promote the safety and security of the Bureau of Prisoners prisoner community, maintain staff security and protect the public in general by re-evaluating the No Frills Prison Act that New Jersey Representative Dick Zimmer proposed within the Contract with America in 1995. His press releases Legislation to End Prison Perks Wins Endorsements, January 31, 1995 and Close the Door on Federal 'Glamour Slammers', February 9, 1995 with the edition circa July 1995, 147 Congressional Record H-7751 and 147 Congressional Record H.7768. The act is commonly known as the "Zimmer Amendment" and henceforth referred as such. Its legislative history starts with the Omnibus Budget Act of Fiscal Year 1997, Public Law 104-134, Title I, § 101(a) [Title VI, § 611], 110 Stat. 1321-64 (renumbered May 2, 1996, Public Law 104-140, § 1 (a), 110 Stat. 1327); September 30, 1996, Public Law 104-208, Div A, Title 1, § 101 (a) [Title VI, § 611], 110 Stat. 3009-66; November 26, 1997, Public Law 105-119, Title VI, § 611, 111 Stat. 2517; October 21, 1998, Public Law 105-277, Div A, § 101(b) [Title VI, § 611], 112 Stat. 2681-113; November 29, 1999, Public Law 106-113, Div B, § 1000(a) (1) [Title VI, § 612], 113 Stat. 1501A-54; December 21, 2000, Public Law 106-553, §1(a) (2), 114 Stat. 2672 (enacting into law § 611 of title VI of H.R. 5548 5
(114 Stat. 2672A-105), as introduced on October 25, 2000); 2 and in its perminate form, Public Law 107-77, Title VI. 5 611. 115 Stat. 800.
This act's long history within the annual budget until the 5 final enactment that is included in the notes of title 18, 6 United States Code, section 4042 titled "Amenities or Personal 7 Comforts" concerning the government not providing funds for purchasing in-cell televisions, content for those televisions based on a rating system, weight lifting / martial arts training aids, and electrified musical instruments.
The language of the act had been challenged in court(s) including case Kimberlin vs. United States DOJ, 318 F. 3d 228 (D.C. Cir., Feb. 11, 2003). The court agreed with the government that the provisions the Bureau of Prisons are not to provide in addition to the physical 'frills' but the electricity that may need to run such equipment.
This AMENITIES Act intends to clarify that the initial Zimmer Amendment specifies that the Bureau of Prisons is not to pay only the individual items. This clarification would allow inmates to purchase their own television sets for in-cell viewing during and beyond the national emergency that is the pandemic. The federal correctional environment has expanded to become an over populated space and simple reforms that promote the health and safety for both staff and inmates.
In addition to the televisions themselves, technology has advanced the types of communication abilities beyond the 1995 concept and value system.
The movie availability is to be re-evaluated because of changes in the social value system by removing the prohibition of rated R movies (except for movies and/or documenteries that promote and/or demostrate on how to break out of a prison). Basic cable airs movies that have received an R rating without the offending language being cut. NBCNews® article by Melissa Dahl points out that many movies from the 1980s like Terminator or Die Hard were rated R at the time of their release -- but if they were released today, they'd probably be rated PG-13 as demostrated by the sequal having had more gun violence than its predecessor received a PG-13 rating. The population incarcerated in the Bureau of Prisons are adults and the movie selection should reflect as such while still maintaining the prohibition of pornographic in nature restrictions.
Technological advancement considerations that align with several state Department of Correctional systems shall implement availability of secured . tablets for the inmate population. This implimentation includes a deadline to start the sale and supporting infrustructure for the physical usage of these tablets. These initial codification and modification of the Zimmer Amendment within Title Il of this act.
Continuing with communication concerns with family and friends by extending the CARES Act phone calls that were free to inmates during times of national emergencies because of COVID-19 to continue indefinately after the pandemic ceases. Also in this Title I11, adding additional communication provisions that include the Trust Fund public messaging (e-mail) system operating 7
procedures and to guarantee access to physical mail sent through the United States Postal Service®, espeically pictures from home. With the safety and security being the top priority for this act, Title IV is designed to reduce the gang affiliation population by offering and encouraging elective tattoo removal services. Protection within the prison walls and preparing for the re-entry into society protects everybody.
Health concerns for those incarcerated without compromising
10. the good order of each institution with Title V. The provisions particularly address standards
that lacked during the pandemic and benefit the health and well being of the population in preparation of any future outbreaks.
Additional entertainment considerations included in Title VI is designed to pacify the population to ensure cooperation and safety between the inmate and staff populations. Title VII addresses re-entry concerns including clarification for the Frist Step Act when obtaining photo identifications. Helping to reduce waste in the prisons, food items on the menu should be palletable for a larger array of the prison population (without calling it gormet 5-star delicacy). Menu items should be appropriate for general consumption for the region with the creation of a matrix of utilization of meal items including providing staff with free access to the daily meals to demostrate that food quality is not below acceptable standards. [If the employees are unwilling to eat the same food items provided to the inmates, then it demostrates a quality issue of what is provided. ] 8 Drawing success from state facility programs across this nations correctional systems by preparing inmates for the needs of todays [and tomorrows] employers. The re-entry preperations is needed even greater now. Within Title VII, the Bureau of
Prisons with a partnership with the Department of Education shall provide a dedicated secure online portal for inmates that allows the option to access an approved post-secondary
education facility [online]. The largest hurdle for an inmate [besides financial] is the lack of an online secured portal. This portal will provide an availability not before had for certifications and/or degree program(s), with an online access via dedicated secured computer terminals and/or the secured tablets mentioned previously.
Along with state facility examples utilizing resources 15 designed to keep family connections, Title IX intends for the creation of another online electronic commerce website for the 17 family member(s). The commercial site is dedicated in being able to purchase gifts [care packages] for their "loved" ones incarcerated based on a frequency considered from the inmates' security level. This type of program has been demostrated its ability within several states and a similar federal system should be considered with minimal impact of prison staff for the compassion of its imprisoned population.
Title X creates a consistant access to art and other supplies based upon an indiviudal's security level designation for the personal purchase from a Trust Fund@ commissary and/or Special Purcahse Order (SPO) from approved vendors. Items include recreational activities, health and fitness, and other. 9
Title XI expands access to the law libraries. Federal prisoners may need access to state resources and civil situations not currently provided. The Bureau of Prisons shall provide at least these bare minimums but not limited to these items in either a phsycial "book" or electornicly that is accessable via the tablet [mentioned earlier]. Expanding the minimum resource framework that requires a minimum of a weekly update to ensure access to the most current availability of state and federal caselaw. The expansion of the digital library to include additional resources that may be "checked out" onto their own personal secured tablets. Also providing access to word processors and/or personal typewriters to ensure legal paperwork is presentable as professionally as possible.
Finally, Title XII addresses procedural issues within the criminal justice system. This would increase the allowable Good Conduct Time credit calcualtions from approximately 85 percent (up to 54 days) to approxiamtely 80 percent (up to 73 days) for the total amount of time that needs to be served. A person's time confined during pre-trial custody including GPS monitoring at home will be counted by the Bureau of Prisons towards the current sentence. A defendant may address the court on their own behalf with their own submitted briefs in conjunction with their counsel without fear of the court ignoring it with a revision of hybrid representation. The restrictions placed on a person not authorized to receive the discovery because of a plea aagreement waiver shall furthermore be unenforceable despite of Freedom of Information Act waivers included in 10
many criminal plea agreements that restricts a person from investigating any exculpatory evidence which violates a person's Due Process rights and violate Brady vs. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83. 4 83 S. Ct. 1194 (May 13, 1963).
This same Title also addresses some post incarceration supervision aspects along with being guaranteed the right to vote for all citizens despite current or previous felony
conviction. Technology advancements demands society to move in a quicker pace which allows law enforcement the tools to process evidence at quicker and more accurate ability than ever before. Because of this, a re-evaluation of the 1948 change within the non-captial Statute of Limitations that was three years but has been five years will be reverted back to its pre-1948 timeframe. Delays in prosecution is no fault of the citizen and if an indictment is not brought in a reasonable amount of time only helps the government in cases.
With all of these additional provisions and re-evaluating the original Zimmer Amendment. These should be taken as liberally as possible in favor of the indivual. The rights of all people, including those who have a felony conviction,, while maintaining safety and security throughout the Bureau of Prisons infrastructure is our top priority.
