Requires DOC to report certain information annually.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Corrections (DOC) to submit an annual report to the Governor and Legislature detailing specific operational data from all state correctional facilities. The report must include facility occupancy rates, incidents of use of force (with injury details), numbers of pregnant or mentally ill inmates, recidivism rates, reentry services provided (like ID documents or social security cards), officer training demographics, overtime pay, and commutation credit adjustments - all without including personally identifiable inmate information. The data must be categorized both cumulatively and by individual facility. This transparency measure affects DOC's reporting obligations but does not change correctional policies or practices.
