Bill Summary
Restricts the use of segregated confinement and creates alternative therapeutic and rehabilitative confinement options; limits the length of time a person may be in segregated confinement and excludes certain persons from being placed in segregated confinement.
AI Summary
This bill restricts the use of segregated confinement in state correctional facilities and creates alternative therapeutic and rehabilitative confinement options called "residential rehabilitation units." The bill limits the length of time a person may be in segregated confinement to 15 consecutive days or 20 total days within any 60-day period, after which they must be released or transferred to a residential rehabilitation unit. The bill also excludes certain "special populations," such as young adults, older adults, and individuals with disabilities, from being placed in segregated confinement. Instead, these individuals must be transferred to a residential rehabilitation unit or residential mental health treatment unit within 48 hours. The bill establishes detailed requirements for the conditions, programming, and services that must be provided in both segregated confinement and residential rehabilitation units, with the goal of creating a less restrictive and more therapeutic environment.
