Requires DOC to report certain information concerning halfway houses.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Corrections (DOC) to submit quarterly reports to the state legislature on residential community release programs, including halfway houses. The reports must detail specific data such as reimbursement amounts, inmate demographics (violent vs. non-violent crimes), escape rates, safety measures, physical violence incidents, and disciplinary actions. Additionally, the DOC must annually analyze program effectiveness with a focus on recidivism rates and submit improvement recommendations to the legislature. The bill directly affects the DOC's reporting obligations and provides the legislature with detailed operational data on these reentry programs.
