HB 3258 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Providing for the reintegration of inmates in correctional facilities

HB 3258 requires West Virginia correctional facilities to assist both juvenile and adult offenders in obtaining essential identification documents - including Social Security numbers, birth certificates, and driver's licenses - from their first day in custody. The bill amends §15A-3-4 of the state code to mandate this support as part of reintegration efforts. It directly affects all inmates entering state correctional facilities by requiring facilities to proactively help secure these documents before release. The key provision is a system-wide mandate for facilities to provide this assistance, rather than relying on individuals to navigate the process independently.
