The resolution establishes the Prison Gang Violence Task Force in New Jersey to investigate and address security and safety concerns within the state's correctional facilities. This initiative follows alarming findings from previous reports highlighting the rise of gang violence and the associated risks to correctional officers and civilian staff. The task force will focus on various critical areas, including the effectiveness of current training programs, the adequacy of safety equipment, the prevalence of gang-related activities, and the intelligence-gathering methods used to maintain order within the facilities.

Composed of 11 members appointed by the Speaker of the General Assembly, the task force will include a mix of current and former correctional officers, as well as experts in gang activities and correctional safety. The group is tasked with conducting public hearings, gathering testimonies, and ultimately reporting its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly within a year of its formation. While members will serve without compensation, they may be reimbursed for necessary expenses, ensuring that the task force can effectively carry out its mission to enhance the safety and security of New Jersey's correctional institutions.
