AI Summary
This bill restricts the use of segregated confinement and creates alternative therapeutic and rehabilitative confinement options. It limits the length of time a person may be in segregated confinement and excludes certain persons, such as those under 21 or over 55 years old, and those with disabilities or mental health needs, from being placed in segregated confinement. Instead, the bill requires these individuals to be placed in less-restrictive "residential rehabilitation units" that offer increased out-of-cell time, programming, and mental health services. The bill also establishes procedural requirements for hearings before placing someone in segregated confinement or a residential rehabilitation unit, and requires regular assessments and opportunities for release from these units.
