Authorizes use of county inmate welfare funds for certain reentry services.

This bill (A2005) allows New Jersey counties to use inmate welfare funds - currently funded by commissary sales, interest, and donations - to pay for reentry services that help incarcerated individuals transition to community life after release. It specifically authorizes counties to cover salaries for facility staff who coordinate access to benefits like Medicaid, housing assistance, and substance abuse treatment. Previously, these funds could only support inmate amenities such as recreation equipment or library materials. The bill expands the permitted use of these funds to directly support post-release reintegration efforts for county inmates.
