S 2509: Relates to the transfer of incarcerated individuals from a county jail to a state correctional institution when such county jail becomes unsafe for the confinement of incarcerated individuals due to extraordinary circumstances.
The bill aims to provide temporary housing for incarcerated individuals from county jails to state correctional institutions in the event of an emergency or safety issue. In such situations, the commissioner of corrections and community supervision may temporarily transfer incarcerated individuals to a state correctional institution for up to 30 days. The transfer must be approved by the municipal official and the county jail must be deemed unfit or unsafe for confinement. The state commission of correction will promulgate rules and regulations governing the temporary transfer process, including provisions for confinement in the nearest correctional facility. The commissioner of corrections and community supervision may reimburse the state for actual costs of confinement, based on standards promulgated by the department.
