S 2856 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOC to report certain information concerning halfway houses.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Corrections (DOC) to submit quarterly reports to state legislators about residential community release programs, including halfway houses. The reports must include specific data such as reimbursement amounts, inmate demographics (by violent/non-violent crime), escape rates, safety measures between inmate groups, violence incidents, and disciplinary actions. Additionally, the DOC must annually analyze and report on each program's effectiveness, with a focus on whether inmates reoffend (recidivism rates). These requirements directly affect the DOC's reporting obligations and provide transparency about program operations for lawmakers.
