Requires award of Edna Mahan trauma credits to inmates incarcerated during period of investigation into allegations of sexual abuse by correctional police officers and staff.

This bill requires New Jersey to award "Edna Mahan trauma credits" to inmates incarcerated at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women during the specific investigation period (April 26, 2018, to the bill's effective date) into allegations of sexual abuse by staff. These credits reduce both the maximum and minimum sentence terms, including mandatory minimums, at a rate of 183 days for each full or partial year served during that period, with a maximum total of 365 days. The credits apply in addition to existing sentence credits under state law. The bill directly affects inmates held at Edna Mahan during the DOJ and state-led investigation into systemic sexual abuse allegations that began in 2018.
