This bill proposes to award ‘Edna Mahan trauma credits’ to inmates who were incarcerated at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women during the period of investigation into allegations of sexual abuse by correctional staff. The investigation, initiated in 2018 and concluded in 2020, revealed a pattern of abuse.

The bill aims to acknowledge and address the harm caused to inmates during this time.
