Bill > S01043

This bill enacts the "Prison Privilege Limitation Act", which specifically targets certain incarcerated individuals convicted of serious crimes like murder (sections 125.25-125.27 of the penal law) and sexual offenses (sections 130.30 and 130.35). The bill restricts prison privileges for these individuals by mandating that they cannot be left unsupervised around civilians and are prohibited from wearing civilian clothing. These restrictions apply to individuals in state correctional facilities, with an exception only for medical treatment purposes. The limitations are designed to enhance safety and supervision of inmates who have been convicted of particularly serious violent and sexual crimes. The act will take effect immediately upon passage, and it amends the existing correction law by adding a new section 628 that outlines these specific restrictions on prison privileges for the designated group of convicted criminals.
