AN ACT CONCERNING THE PROTECTION OF CORRECTION OFFICERS FROM VIOLENCE.

SB 760 aims to protect correction officers by increasing safety measures in correctional facilities. The bill requires the Department of Correction to boost staffing levels, impose harsher sanctions for inmate violence (including extended isolation), and mandate that out-of-cell time be productive. It also prioritizes employment and education programs for inmates serving fixed-term sentences over life sentences, while ensuring all violence incidents are thoroughly documented. These changes directly affect correction officers (by reducing workplace violence risks) and incarcerated individuals (through new behavioral and programming requirements).
