Bill > HB1700

This bill requires that case plans for inmates who have committed capital offenses, meaning those who have been convicted of crimes punishable by death, must include specific rehabilitative programs. These programs are intended to address issues like criminal thinking, substance abuse, life skills, and behavioral health, and are designed to help inmates understand the reasons behind their crimes and prevent future offenses, ultimately enabling them to reintegrate into society. The bill also mandates that these case plans be developed within ninety days of an inmate's admission to custody and that they include programs such as "70 X 7" and "Love Your Neighbor," which focus on crime prevention and societal coexistence. These requirements are in addition to existing case plan provisions for all parole-eligible inmates, ensuring a more comprehensive approach to rehabilitation for those convicted of serious offenses.
