What this bill would do

The Fairness and Access for Immigrant Rights Act (FAIR Act) aims to provide detainees in immigration detention centers with access to constituent services. It requires detention centers to provide specific privacy release forms upon written request in the detainee's language. The bill also mandates that detainees receive handbooks and information regarding congressional services. Furthermore, it requires detention centers to notify congressional offices when a detainee seeks help. Finally, the act grants detainees access to communication tools and establishes an enforcement mechanism for violations.
