Correctional Transparency Act

Petition in support of the Correctional Transparency Act, advocating for the implementation of body cameras in all state and federal correctional and jail facilities nationwide:


Support the Correctional Transparency Act – Demand Body Cameras in All Correctional Facilities Nationwide

Petition:

We, the undersigned, call on Congress and state legislatures to support and pass the Correctional Transparency Act, a vital measure that mandates the implementation of body-worn cameras in all state and federal correctional facilities and jails across the United States.

Transparency, accountability, and the protection of human rights are foundational to a just and effective criminal justice system. Yet, behind the walls of our nation’s prisons and jails, countless incidents of abuse, misconduct, and negligence continue to go undocumented and unaddressed.

The Correctional Transparency Act would:
 • Require all correctional officers to wear body-worn cameras while on duty.
 • Mandate the secure storage and review of footage to ensure accountability.
 • Protect the rights and safety of incarcerated individuals, correctional staff, and the public.
 • Increase transparency and public trust in correctional institutions.
 • Provide crucial evidence in cases of alleged misconduct or abuse.

Body-worn cameras have already proven effective in law enforcement settings, reducing the number of violent incidents, protecting officers from false allegations, and ensuring justice for all parties. It is time to bring the same level of oversight to our correctional system.

We urge our elected officials to take bold action and support the Correctional Transparency Act to ensure that every correctional facility and jail in the nation is equipped with the tools necessary to uphold justice, safety, and human dignity.

Sign this petition today and join the movement for correctional reform, transparency, and accountability.

Why is this important?

“Why should other people join me in my campaign for the Correctional Transparency Act?”


“Because every person — whether inside or outside prison walls — deserves accountability, safety, and dignity. Right now, too many abuses go unseen and unheard behind locked doors. Requiring body cameras in all state and federal prisons and jails is a simple, powerful step toward transparency and justice.

This isn’t just about protecting inmates — it’s about protecting correctional officers, restoring public trust, and making sure our tax-funded institutions uphold the values we claim to stand for.

By joining this campaign, you’re standing up for human rights, government accountability, and common-sense reform. Together, we can shine a light where it’s long been dark — and help create a correctional system that’s safer, fairer, and more just for everyone.”
