interactive computer service.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
APRIL 23, 1998
Ms. PRYCE of Ohio introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
To ensure that prisoners are not permitted unsupervised
access to any interactive computer service.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Stop Trafficking of
Pornography in Prisons Act of 1998’’.
SEC. 2. PRISONER ACCESS.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no agen-
cy, officer, or employee of the United States shall imple-
ment, or provide any financial assistance to, any Federal
program or Federal activity in which a Federal prisoner
is allowed access to any interactive computer service with-
out the supervision of an official of the Government.
SEC. 3. RECOMMENDED PROHIBITION.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) a Minnesota State prisoner, serving 23
years for molesting teenage girls, worked for a non-
profit work and education program inside the prison,
through which the prisoner had unsupervised access
to the Internet;
(2) the prisoner, through his unsupervised ac-
cess to the Internet, trafficked in child pornography
over the Internet;
(3) Federal law enforcement authorities caught
the prisoner with a computer disk containing 280
pictures of juveniles engaged in sexually explicit con-
duct;
(4) a jury found the prisoner guilty of conspir-
ing to trade in child pornography and possessing
child pornography;
(5) the United States District Court for the
District of Minnesota sentenced the prisoner to 87
months in Federal prison, to be served upon the
completion of his 23-year State prison term; and
(6) there has been an explosion in the use of
the Internet in the United States, further placing
our Nation’s children at risk of harm and exploi-
tation at the hands of predators on the Internet and
increasing the ease of trafficking in child pornog-
raphy.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Congress strongly urges
State Governors, State legislators, and State prison ad-
ministrators to prohibit unsupervised access to the Inter-
net by State prisoners.
SEC. 4. SURVEY.
(a) SURVEY.—Not later than 6 months after the date
of the enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall
conduct a survey of the States to determine to what extent
each State allows prisoners access to any interactive com-
puter service and whether such access is supervised by a
prison official.
(b) REPORT.— The Attorney General shall submit a
report to Congress of the findings of the survey conducted
pursuant to subsection (a).
(c) DEFINITION.—For the purposes of this section,
the term ‘‘State’’ means each of the 50 States and the

(2) Such approval is inconsistent with the re-
quirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Con-
servation and Management Act and the provisions
popularly known as the Administrative Procedure
Act on several grounds, including but not limited to
the following:
(A) Amendment 9 is not based on the best
available scientific and commercial information.
(B) The economic information used as a
basis for the approval is inaccurate and incom-
plete and significantly understates the negative
impact on the shrimp fishery and coastal com-
munities.
(C) The National Marine Fisheries Service
failed to establish that bycatch reduction de-
vices are practicable or that approved devices in
fact reduce juvenile red snapper mortality by
the amounts required to obtain any positive
change in the fishery.
(b) DISAPPROVAL OF RULE.—The rule issued by the
National Marine Fisheries Service on April 14, 1998,
making amendments to part 622 of title 50, Code of Fed-
eral Regulations, to implement Amendment 9 to the Fish-
ery Management Plan for the Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf
of Mexico, shall have no force or effect.
