Certain restitution centers; transition to post-release reentry centers.

SB 2362 would convert Mississippi's Greenwood, Hinds County, and Pascagoula Restitution Centers into post-release reentry centers. It directs the Department of Corrections to provide up to 90 days of housing and support services - including housing assistance, job training, healthcare, and counseling - to individuals released from incarceration who lack immediate housing or support. The bill prohibits detaining people who refuse placement in these centers and requires the Department to develop programs helping residents secure stable housing and community reintegration. It directly affects formerly incarcerated individuals transitioning back to communities and the three specific facilities being repurposed. (Note: The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025.)
