Certain restitution centers; transition to post-release reentry centers.
SB 2204 proposed converting Mississippi's Greenwood, Hinds County, and Pascagoula restitution centers into post-release reentry centers operated by the Department of Corrections. The bill would have provided up to 90 days of support services - including housing assistance, job training, counseling, healthcare, and educational programs - to individuals released from incarceration who lack immediate housing or support. It required the Department of Corrections to develop reentry programs, secure funding for these services, and assist residents in accessing community resources, while repealing sections authorizing restitution centers and amending related correctional codes.
