Prohibits release of illegal immigrants from correctional facilities.

S 1326 requires New Jersey correctional facilities (prisons, jails, youth detention centers) to verify the citizenship status and lawful presence in the U.S. of every inmate. If an inmate is not a U.S. citizen or not lawfully present, the facility must not release them to the general public but must transfer them solely to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials. Facilities that violate this rule face civil penalties set by the Commissioner of Corrections. The bill directly affects non-citizen inmates in state correctional facilities who are not lawfully present in the U.S.
