The bill amends Massachusetts General Laws, specifically Chapter 126, Section 40, to enhance the reporting requirements for jails and houses of correction, particularly focusing on the Worcester correctional facility. It introduces a new section titled "Overview of Quarterly Population Report for the Individual Massachusetts Sheriffs' Offices," which mandates sheriffs to compile and submit quarterly reports detailing various data points for each individual committed to their facilities, including probation central file numbers, state identification numbers, race and ethnicity, and offense-based tracking numbers. The bill also emphasizes the collection and analysis of demographic information to improve transparency and accountability in the correctional system, while streamlining the tracking of inmate admissions, releases, and earned time credits.

Additionally, the bill outlines various rehabilitation programs available to inmates, such as Anger Management, Relapse Prevention, and Digital Literacy, and emphasizes the importance of tracking participation and outcomes to enhance program effectiveness. It includes provisions for new educational initiatives and aims to ensure that these programs are accessible to a diverse population. The bill seeks to modernize the legal framework governing inmate data and rehabilitation efforts, ultimately promoting better oversight, reducing recidivism rates, and facilitating successful reintegration into society.
