Modifies provisions relating to jails

Maddy summaryThis bill modifies state laws to regulate phone access and costs for inmates in correctional centers and jails. It mandates that facilities provide reasonable phone access to offenders while allowing restrictions as a disciplinary measure, and it caps the total cost for domestic calls at twelve cents per minute. Additionally, the legislation enables two or more contiguous counties to form regional jail districts to share the responsibility of operating and funding jail facilities. These new districts would be governed by a commission of local sheriffs and could levy a sales tax, subject to voter approval, to help cover operational expenses.
