House Bill No. by Representative Bryant establishes the Access to Programming Pilot Program under the Department of Public Safety and Corrections (DPS&C). This program aims to provide various programming and services to juvenile offenders and inmates sentenced to the DPS&C who are currently in the custody of a sheriff at a parish prison or jail. The programming will cover topics such as rehabilitation services, mental health services, and suicide awareness and prevention.

The bill outlines that attendance options for these programs will include simultaneous audio-visual transmission for juveniles in juvenile facilities and in-person or audio-visual options for inmates in parish prisons or jails. Additionally, the DPS&C is required to adopt rules and regulations in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act to implement the provisions of the pilot program.
