Prohibits release of illegal immigrants from correctional facilities.

This bill requires New Jersey correctional facilities (including prisons, jails, and youth detention centers) to verify the immigration status of every inmate. If an inmate is not a U.S. citizen or is not lawfully present in the United States, the facility must transfer them to federal immigration officials instead of releasing them to the general public. Facilities must document status details, and if they cannot determine it after due diligence, they must assume the inmate is unlawfully present. Violating these rules subjects the facility to civil penalties.
