An Act relative to prison mitigation

This bill creates a new Prison Mitigation Fund to provide financial support to cities and towns hosting state correctional facilities. It requires 100% of annual funds (with a minimum total of $2.5 million) to be distributed based on each community's share of the state's total prisoner population. The fund, managed by the Department of Correction, prevents leftover money from reverting to the general state budget each year. This directly affects communities with prisons by providing predictable, population-based funding for local services impacted by incarceration.
