Corrections Officer Blake Schwarz Suicide Prevention Act of 2025
Key claim: The Corrections Officer Blake Schwarz Suicide Prevention Act of 2025 (HR2305) was introduced in the 119th Congress and referred to the House Judiciary Committee to address suicide prevention among corrections officers.
Abstract
(HR2305 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-03-24): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Why this matters
Corrections officers face elevated rates of occupational stress, PTSD, and suicide, and HR2305 marks a named federal legislative response focused specifically on that workforce. Because the bill is only introduced and its text is procedural, its practical effect on employer obligations, screening, or mental-health services remains undefined. Tracking it alongside other corrections-workforce safety measures helps map the emerging federal approach to correctional labor conditions.
