SB 198 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE MEANING OF "OUT OF CELL" TIME FOR PERSONS WHO ARE INCARCERATED.

This bill clarifies that "out of cell" time for incarcerated individuals includes any time spent outside their cell - not just recreational periods. It amends Section 18-96b of the general statutes to define this term more precisely. The change ensures consistent application of the definition across correctional facilities. (Procedural clarification; affects all incarcerated persons under this statute.)
