Bill > HB2276

This bill establishes Boards of Prison Inspectors for each State correctional institution in Pennsylvania, with each board composed of three medical professionals, three education professionals, three law enforcement officers, three county-elected officials from the institution's county, and three community members, including a former inmate, an inmate's family member, and a local resident. These boards, whose members are appointed by various state departments, the Governor, and county governments, will conduct unannounced inspections, review misconduct and inmate complaints, ensure healthful living conditions, investigate allegations of inadequate conditions and improper practices, and ensure the institution operates in accordance with laws and regulations. The boards will meet quarterly in public, and their administrative expenses will be funded by state appropriations, with an annual report on conditions and recommendations made publicly available online.
