AI Summary

This bill establishes a pilot project for the placement of female inmates who are mothers of minor children in the correctional facility closest to the primary residence of their child(ren). The project aims to facilitate increased contact between the incarcerated mothers and their children, as research shows maintaining family ties can lower recidivism rates for female inmates. The bill outlines eligibility criteria, reporting requirements, and the ability for the Commissioner to revoke participation in the program for disciplinary infractions or failure to participate in assigned programs. The pilot project is set to expire three years after it takes effect.
