Bill Summary
For legislation to reduce recidivism and promote family relationships during incarceration. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill aims to reduce recidivism (the tendency of a convicted criminal to reoffend) and promote family relationships during incarceration. The key provisions include requiring all guards, corrections officers, and employees of correctional institutions to attend training sessions and receive educational information on the importance of ongoing visitation for individuals who are incarcerated. This is related to reducing recidivism, violence, and increasing successful reentry into society. The training materials and educational information will be developed in consultation with various stakeholders, including legal associations, prisoner advocacy groups, and community-based organizations. The training materials must be submitted to the joint committee on the judiciary and the joint committee on public safety and homeland security prior to implementation.
