I heard on the radio that someone was proposing an actual bill, but when I looked on google, this was all I could find.

"Leaders of a Senate panel called on federal and state prison authorities Tuesday to ban the use of solitary confinement for juveniles, pregnant women and the mentally ill as part of a national reassessment of the harshest method of incarceration."
Has anyone heard otherwise?
I also found stuff about New York, but I really thought that the story I heard was national.
