Defines the terms "cell" and "out-of-cell"

Maddy summaryThis bill defines two key terms in correctional settings: "cell" (any space used for sleep or non-shared confinement without physical barriers between people) and "out-of-cell" (being in shared group spaces for activities like recreation, library, or medical treatment without barriers). It clarifies when incarcerated individuals are considered confined in a cell versus participating in group activities outside a cell. The definitions directly affect correctional facilities and incarcerated people by standardizing how confinement and group activities are categorized under existing laws. The bill does not change policies but provides clear terminology for implementation.
