Requires award of Edna Mahan trauma credits to inmates incarcerated during period of investigation into allegations of sexual abuse by correctional police officers and staff.
This bill requires New Jersey to award "Edna Mahan trauma credits" to inmates at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women who were incarcerated during the specific investigation period (April 26, 2018, to the bill's effective date) into allegations of sexual abuse by facility staff. Inmates receive 183 days of sentence reduction for each year (or portion) served during that period, capped at 365 days total. These credits reduce both the maximum and minimum sentence terms, including mandatory minimums, and apply in addition to existing credit provisions. The credits are specifically for inmates affected by the federal and state investigations into systemic sexual abuse at the facility.
