Bill overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Corrections (DOC) to report incidents of suicide and self-harm among inmates housed in Restorative Housing Units (RHUs). RHUs are units where inmates are isolated as a disciplinary measure. The DOC will be required to track and report these incidents, providing data on the frequency of self-harm and suicide attempts within these units. This aims to increase transparency and accountability regarding the well-being of inmates in isolated confinement.
