In this Act: The term appropriate congressional committees means— the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate; and the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives. The term primary indicators for the elimination of inhumane conditions in prisons and other detention facilities means, with respect to the operation or maintenance of prisons and other detention facilities in a foreign country that is a recipient of United States assistance, the following:
The number of inmates or detainees held in a facility does not so exceed prison capacity such that per capita floor space is insufficient to allow for humane sleeping conditions and reasonable physical movement. Human waste facilities are sanitary and accessible, and human waste is disposed of regularly and in a sanitary manner. The lighting, ventilation, temperature, and physical construction of prisons and other detention facilities do not seriously endanger the health and safety of prisoners.
Prisoners and other detainees have access to adequate food and potable drinking water. Prisoners and other detainees have access to essential and emergency medical care. To the maximum extent practicable, prisoners and other detainees are allowed religious observance and materials, and contact with clergy, family, and friends, by both correspondence and personal visits. The term United States assistance means any non-humanitarian assistance furnished to carry out the provisions of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 ( 22 U.S.C. 2151 et seq. ), the Arms Export Control Act ( 22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq. ), or the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003 ( 22 U.S.C. 7701 et seq. ).
