S 3806 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires female inmates be provided with family planning services prior to release from correctional facility.

This bill requires the New Jersey Commissioner of Corrections to provide family planning services to female inmates at least 10 days before their release from state correctional facilities. It amends the existing Fair Release and Reentry Act of 2009, which already mandates that all inmates receive various documents and resources to assist with reentry, such as medical records, prescription medications, and information on voting and employment. The provision specifically targets female inmates by adding family planning services to the list of required pre-release resources. This change aims to support women transitioning back into society by ensuring they have access to reproductive health planning before leaving incarceration.
