Defines the terms "cell" and "out-of-cell"
This bill defines "cell" and "out-of-cell" in correction law to clarify when incarcerated people are confined to a cell or in group settings. A "cell" is defined as a room for sleeping or a non-shared space without physical barriers for group activities. "Out-of-cell" includes group settings like recreation yards, libraries, or medical visits where people interact without barriers. The bill directly affects correctional facilities and incarcerated individuals by standardizing these terms for policy and record-keeping.
