AI Summary

It amends several sections of the state's General Laws to allow the commissioner of corrections or administrators of county correctional facilities to place certain inmates, including those awaiting trial, in community corrections programs under Chapter 211F. The bill also allows courts to order participation in these programs as a condition of release or in lieu of bail, and enables the probation department to use community corrections for pretrial supervision.
