To abolish prisons, release all incarcerated persons, and rebuild prison sites into sustainable communities.

This Act may be cited as the “Prison Reform & Reintegration Bill of 2025.”

Based on a population of two million (2,000,000) formerly incarcerated individuals, each receiving one million dollars ($1,000,000 USD) annually for continuous community reinvestment, the total annual project budget equals:

$200,000,000,000 (Two Hundred Billion United States Dollars per year).
