Bill overview
This bill allows inmates aged 55 or older, or those with mental or physical disabilities, in California state prisons and county jails to choose whether to continue working, reduce their work hours, or retire from their work assignments. The bill prohibits penalties like disciplinary write-ups or transfers for these choices, aiming to provide more flexibility and options for older or disabled inmates. It also extends similar provisions to inmates in county jails and other facilities performing public works or fire suppression duties.
