Bill > SB291

This bill amends the Privately Operated Correctional Facilities Oversight Act to require inspections of privately operated correctional facilities by inspectors designated by the Attorney General. The inspections must be conducted at least once every three years without prior notice and cover various aspects of the facility's operations, including medical and mental health services, contractual compliance, inmate demographics, and staff training. The inspector can issue corrective action plans, and if the facility fails to address the issues within six months, the inspector must refer the matter to the Attorney General and the Secretary. The bill also requires the inspection reports to be publicly posted, with confidential information redacted.

Budget and Finance, Justice
