Case plans for inmates who committed violent offenses; require certain programs be placed within.

HB 1016 requires Mississippi's Department of Corrections to develop case plans within 90 days for parole-eligible inmates who committed violent offenses. These plans must include specific rehabilitation programs, such as "70 X 7" and "Love Your Neighbor," which focus on understanding the causes of the crime and preventing future offenses, as well as programs for societal reintegration. The case plans must be reviewed every eight weeks by caseworkers and progress reports submitted to the Parole Board every four months. The bill also mandates that plans be achievable by the inmate's parole eligibility date and requires contracting with outside facilities if needed to provide required programs.
