The Eliminating Restrictive and Segregated Enclosures (ERASE) Solitary Confinement Act of 2025 seeks to prohibit segregated confinement in jails and impose strict limitations on the use of safe cells. The bill mandates that incarcerated individuals experiencing mental health emergencies receive appropriate healthcare and requires the Department of Corrections to develop a plan to eliminate segregated confinement. It defines key terms related to healthcare and confinement, outlines residents' rights to timely medical attention and privacy, and emphasizes the need for informed decision-making regarding their care.

Additionally, the bill restricts the use of prolonged confinement, stating it cannot be used for disciplinary purposes or administrative convenience, except in specific cases like medical isolation for contagious diseases. It mandates direct observation for residents on suicide watch and prohibits punitive measures during such times. The Department of Corrections is tasked with creating a comprehensive report within 90 days of enactment, detailing plans to eliminate prolonged confinement and improving healthcare for incarcerated individuals. The legislation also establishes a private right of action for residents to sue for violations, streamlines the grievance process, and ensures that residents can seek redress effectively, thereby enhancing transparency and accountability in confinement settings.
