A 2843 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DOC to report certain information concerning halfway houses.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Corrections (DOC) to submit quarterly reports to the state legislature about residential community release programs, including halfway houses that help inmates transition after prison. The reports must detail specific data such as reimbursement amounts per inmate, inmate demographics (violent vs. non-violent crimes), escape rates, safety measures, and incidents of violence. Additionally, the DOC must annually analyze program effectiveness in reducing recidivism (repeat offenses) and provide improvement recommendations. These requirements aim to increase transparency and inform legislative oversight of reentry programs.
