Prohibits retaliation against inmates in State correctional facilities who report sexual abuse; criminalizes retaliation and failure to report abuse.

This bill (A3165) requires New Jersey correctional facilities to create a confidential, fee-free system for inmates to report sexual assault, harassment, physical violence, or mental abuse by staff. It prohibits retaliation against reporting inmates - including transfers to restrictive housing or changes to job assignments - and mandates that facilities offer victim advocacy services. Correctional staff who retaliate against reporting inmates or fail to report abuse face criminal penalties (a fourth-degree crime punishable by up to 18 months in jail or a $10,000 fine). The law directly affects incarcerated individuals and correctional staff in New Jersey state facilities.
