Bill Summary
Relative to funeral visitation for inmates. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 90A of chapter 127, which likely pertains to the rights and regulations concerning inmates in Massachusetts. The key change is to allow inmates, under escort, to leave correctional facilities to attend the funeral of a relative or to visit a critically ill relative. This provision is being added to the existing text of the section, which previously did not explicitly permit such temporary releases for these specific family emergencies.
