Bill Summary
This bill requires the Commissioner of Corrections to provide family planning services to a female inmate at least ten days prior to her release from a State correctional facility. The "Fair Release and Reentry Act of 2009," (P.L.2009, c.329; C.30:1B-6.1 et seq.) requires the Commissioner of Corrections to provide inmates, at least ten days before their release, with various documents, information, and other items. Examples of these items include a copy of the inmate's criminal history record and written information on expungement of criminal records, information on voting rights, a two week supply of prescription medication, and a medical discharge summary. This bill requires the commissioner to also provide female inmates with family planning services to aid in their successful reentry into the community.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Commissioner of Corrections to provide female inmates with family planning services at least ten days prior to their release from a state correctional facility. The bill is amending the "Fair Release and Reentry Act of 2009," which already requires the Commissioner to provide inmates with various documents, information, and other items before their release, to now also include the provision of family planning services for female inmates to aid in their successful reentry into the community.
