Requires DOC to report incidents of suicide and self-harm among inmates housed in Restorative Housing Units.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Corrections (DOC) to publicly report quarterly data on suicide and self-harm incidents involving inmates housed in Restorative Housing Units (RHUs). RHUs are disciplinary housing units where inmates are separated from the general prison population. The reports must include statistics on these incidents by demographic factors (age, sex, ethnicity, mental illness) and facility, without revealing personal identifiers. The DOC must publish these reports on its official website starting after the bill takes effect. This applies specifically to incidents occurring in RHUs, not general prison settings.
