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

HB 1021 requires Mississippi's Department of Corrections to create specific case plans for inmates convicted of capital offenses within 90 days of admission. These plans must include at least two of four mandated program areas: criminal thinking, alcohol/drug treatment, life skills, or behavioral health, plus screening for physiological/social issues. The case plans must focus on understanding the crime's causes and preventing future offenses, with regular progress reviews every eight weeks and quarterly reports to the Parole Board. This applies to all inmates serving time for capital crimes in Mississippi state custody.
