An Act relative to the security of exercise equipment and free weights in correctional institutions

This bill, known as "Matt's Law," requires correctional institution superintendents to secure all exercise equipment to prevent inmate removal. It specifically prohibits inmates in medium- or maximum-security facilities from accessing free weights. The law mandates that all exercise equipment must be secured to avoid being taken from the facility. These requirements apply directly to correctional institutions and their administrative staff managing inmate exercise areas.
