Bill > SB941

This bill, concerning canteens in private detention facilities, would establish a new regulation for these facilities, which are defined as detention centers operated by private, for-profit companies under contract with a government entity. Specifically, it would prohibit the sale price of any item in a "commissary" – which includes any store, canteen, or retail service selling goods like food or hygiene supplies to incarcerated individuals – from being more than 35% higher than the price the facility paid to its vendor for that item. This provision aims to ensure that markups on goods sold to those in private detention facilities are capped, similar to existing regulations for state-run facilities.
