    The Executive Order 14006, issued by the President, aims to reform the U.S. incarceration system by reducing dependence on privately operated criminal detention facilities. It highlights the negative impact of these facilities on community safety and their failure to match the rehabilitation and safety standards of federal facilities. The order directs the Attorney General not to renew contracts with these private facilities, emphasizing the importance of providing humane treatment and effective rehabilitation to incarcerated individuals. The order remains subject to existing laws and budget constraints and does not create any legal rights enforceable against the United States.

The government wants to make sure everyone is treated well and gets the help they need while in prison, but it's not clear yet how this will happen.

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has updated its Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket, which keeps track of federal facilities that handle hazardous waste. Under a law called CERCLA, the EPA must maintain this list to identify facilities that may need environmental cleanup. The latest update includes information about two new facilities added to the list, but no facilities were deleted or corrected since the last update. The goal of this Docket is to ensure that all federal facilities are evaluated for potential environmental risks and that this information is accessible to the public.
