Redefine a term under the Nebraska Treatment and Corrections Act
Nebraska bill LB 387 redefines "solitary confinement" in the state's Correctional Services Act to specifically mean "confinement in an individual cell having solid, soundproof doors that deprives an inmate of all visual and auditory contact with others." This change directly affects Nebraska correctional facilities and inmates held in restrictive housing, as it establishes a clear legal definition for this practice. The bill amends section 83-170 of the law by adding this definition and repealing the previous version. This is a technical clarification of terminology, not a new policy or funding change.
