Requires DOC to conduct study on quality of health care services in correctional facilities.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Corrections (DOC), working with the Department of Health, to study healthcare quality in state prisons. It mandates an evaluation of average response times for inmate health requests, frequency of medical staff visits for pain/illness care, and gaps in services across facilities. The study must identify specific shortcomings and their causes, with findings reported to the Governor and Legislature within one year. The bill directly affects incarcerated individuals by assessing the healthcare they receive, but does not change current services or funding. It is a procedural measure focused on gathering data to inform future policy decisions.
