Criminal procedure: sentencing; mandatory sentencing for certain crimes regarding contraband in jails; require. Amends secs. 2, 2a, 3 & 5 of 1981 PA 7 (MCL 801.262 et seq.).

This bill strengthens penalties for bringing weapons, drugs, alcohol, and cell phones into Michigan jails. It mandates minimum prison sentences of five to fifteen years for individuals who smuggle in or provide these items to inmates, while also imposing a one-to-five-year sentence for unauthorized possession of communication devices by prisoners. The law requires that confiscated cell phones be donated to charities supporting military personnel rather than being destroyed or sold. These changes directly affect jail administrators, visitors, and anyone attempting to introduce contraband into correctional facilities.
