Require Corrections to consider inmate family connections during placement

This bill requires Montana's Department of Corrections to consider an inmate's family connections when transferring them to correctional facilities outside the state. The law mandates that officials evaluate both the strength of an inmate's family attachments and their ability to maintain those relationships during out-of-state placements. This change applies specifically to inmates being moved to institutions in other states, ensuring family ties are factored into placement decisions. The bill amends existing Montana Code Annotated provisions regarding inmate population management and out-of-state contracts while adding this new consideration requirement.
