Makes permanent the "Commission to Protect New Jersey Inmates from Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct."
SJR 95 makes permanent the "Commission to Protect New Jersey Inmates from Sexual Assault and Sexual Misconduct," which was previously established as a temporary body under P.L.2020, Joint Resolution No. 3. The permanent commission consists of 17 members, including legislative appointees, key state agency representatives, and public members with expertise in corrections, victims' rights, and racial justice. It will annually examine issues affecting inmate safety - such as compliance with federal PREA standards, investigation procedures for sexual misconduct allegations, and staff ratios - and submit reports with recommendations to the Governor and Legislature, with findings posted online. The commission directly affects inmates in New Jersey's state correctional facilities, particularly those at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women.
