Overview
This bill would require New Jersey to pay civilly committed sexually violent predators the same compensation rate as State inmates for work performed within institutional facilities. Currently, these individuals are paid at the minimum wage. The goal is to align their compensation with that of other incarcerated individuals, potentially leading to cost savings. This change would affect the way these predators are compensated for tasks like kitchen work and laundry duties.
