Bill Summary

Relative to access to community corrections. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill aims to expand access to community corrections programs in Massachusetts. It introduces a definition for "re-entry services programs" that are separate from the community corrections programs offered under the existing law. The bill also allows for the utilization of re-entry programs by any person released from a correctional institution in the state, regardless of their parole status. Additionally, the Department of Probation is granted the authority to consider allowing third parties to provide re-entry services and to house the re-entry services in different locations from the sanctions and corrections programs it administers at Community Corrections Centers. Finally, the bill requires the Department of Corrections, Houses of Corrections, and Jails to provide government identification and information about re-entry services to individuals leaving prison.
