 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Prisoner Lawsuit Efficiency Act of 1995 - Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit any action from being brought by a prisoner in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons concerning any aspect of such prisoner's incarceration until any administrative remedy procedures available are exhausted, regardless of the nominal party defendant. Specifies that the fact that the administrative remedies do not include all the possible procedures and forms of recovery that are available in the civil action does not render such remedies inadequate or excuse the failure to exhaust them.
