Bill > SF2098

This bill appropriates a total of $1 million ($500,000 in fiscal year 2026 and $500,000 in fiscal year 2027) from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Department of Corrections. The funding is specifically designated as a grant to The Redemption Project, a program designed to support inmates and justice-impacted individuals through comprehensive rehabilitation services. These services include virtue-based education that follows core correctional practices, mentoring, support services, and employment assistance. The goal of the program is to reduce incarceration rates and help inmates successfully transition back into their communities after release. The appropriation will become part of the department's base funding, and the bill will take effect the day after it is officially enacted. By providing targeted support and resources, the bill aims to address recidivism and support personal development for individuals involved in the criminal justice system.
