Upgrades penalties for unlawful possession of certain items by incarcerated persons and unlawful provision of certain items to incarcerated persons.

This bill increases penalties for incarcerated people who possess items that could aid escape (like weapons or tools) and for people who provide such items to them. It upgrades possession of any escape-related item from a third-degree crime to a second-degree crime, requiring a minimum 5-year prison sentence instead of the current 3-year minimum for weapons. It also elevates penalties for providing other prohibited items (non-escape contraband) from a petty disorderly persons offense to a third-degree crime. The changes directly affect incarcerated individuals and those who supply them with restricted items, aiming to strengthen security in correctional facilities.
