Mandatory Federal Prison Drug Treatment Act of 1996 - Replaces Federal criminal code provisions authorizing a reduction in the period of confinement of a convicted nonviolent offender who completes a substance abuse treatment program with provisions requiring the Attorney General to ensure, through the use of all appropriate and available incentives and sanctions, that eligible prisoners undergo a program of substance abuse treatment. Modifies the definition of an "eligible prisoner" to mean a prisoner who is determined by the Bureau of Prisons to have a substance abuse problem and who is within 24 months of the date of release or is otherwise designated by the Bureau for participation in a residential substance abuse treatment program (currently, who is willing to participate in such a program).
