     &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Blocking Rioters and Insurrectionists from our Cities to Keep us Safe Act of 2021 or the BRICKS Act of 2021&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill increases criminal penalties for rioting and related offenses (e.g., inciting a riot).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;First, the bill increases from 5 to 10 years the statutory maximum prison term for a rioting offense.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Second, it establishes higher statutory maximum penalties for rioting offenses that involve certain aggravating characteristics. Specifically, it provides&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;a prison term of up to 25 years for a rioting offense that results in serious bodily injury or includes a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire; and &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;a prison term of any years or for life for a rioting offense that results in death or includes kidnapping, attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or attempt to kill.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;
