The bill enhances the reporting requirements for the Plymouth County Correctional Facility by mandating the inclusion of detailed demographic data in quarterly reports. This data will focus on the race, ethnicity, release type, admission type, and jail credits of the incarcerated population, ensuring that reports reflect the most current and comprehensive information available. The bill introduces new legal language that specifies various types of admissions and releases, such as "Mass Parole," "GCD," and "Court-no return," while also detailing the average days sentenced for different demographic groups. This aims to improve transparency and accountability within the correctional system, allowing for better analysis of trends related to incarceration.
Additionally, the bill addresses the handling and reporting of detainee demographics, particularly for individuals detained by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). It includes provisions for the collection of demographic data based on self-reporting and introduces new legal language that specifies categories for detainee status, such as "Release Temp Custa ICE - Detainee" and "Not Released ICE - Detainee." The bill emphasizes the importance of accurate record-keeping and reporting to ensure comprehensive demographic data, ultimately aiming to enhance understanding of detainee demographics and improve management of detainee cases within the legal framework.
