A communication from the Massachusetts Sheriffs’ Association (see Section 40 of Chapter 126 of the General Laws) submitting the aggregate data on the population of the Berkshire County Correctional Facility for the second quarter of calendar year 2025

HD 5315 is not a legislative bill but a required quarterly report submission from the Berkshire County Sheriff's Office. It complies with Massachusetts General Laws (Chapter 126, Section 40) by providing aggregate data on jail population demographics, admission types, release types, and sentence lengths for the second quarter of 2025. The report includes non-identifying data on inmates (e.g., race, ethnicity, offense type) but excludes fields like case disposition and bail details, which originate with the Trial Court. This routine submission is mandated for transparency and oversight, delivered to the Secretary of Public Safety, judiciary committees, and legislative clerks as required by existing law. It does not create new policy or affect any specific population.
