AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 211F of the Massachusetts General Laws to expand access to community corrections programs. It defines a new term, "re-entry services program," which is a separate track of programming from the community corrections programs offered under Section 3 of the chapter. The bill also requires the Department of Correction and Houses of Corrections and Jails to provide government identification and information about re-entry services to each prisoner upon release. The overall aim of the bill is to improve access to re-entry services and support for individuals transitioning from incarceration back into the community.
