Bill overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Corrections (DOC) to offer reunification therapy to inmates nearing release and their immediate family members. The therapy sessions can be conducted virtually, with family members attending at designated locations like mental health providers’ offices or reentry service providers. The DOC must also seek funding to support this program and provide information about reentry resources to participating inmates. It aims to help inmates and their families prepare for a successful transition back into society.
