What’s happening with End Solitary Confinement Act?
As of June 2026, the End Solitary Confinement Act remains stalled in the House and Senate Judiciary Committees with no action taken since July 2025. Committee leaders must schedule a vote to move the bill forward, but most legislation fails to receive this step and dies in committee. This pattern of inaction has persisted for 11 months, reflecting the typical path for most bills introduced in Congress.
