This bill amends West Virginia's Code to include federal correctional facilities in the list of institutions where it is a criminal offense to unlawfully deliver items to individuals in custody. Specifically, it adds the phrase "or federal correctional facility" to various sections of the law, which outlines penalties for actions such as aiding an escape, delivering contraband, or possessing prohibited items within these facilities. The bill establishes that individuals who engage in these activities can face felony or misdemeanor charges, depending on the nature of the offense. The proposed changes aim to enhance the security and integrity of federal correctional institutions by ensuring that the same legal standards apply to them as to state and juvenile facilities. The bill outlines specific penalties for various offenses, including fines and potential imprisonment, thereby reinforcing the seriousness of these crimes and the state's commitment to maintaining order within correctional environments.
