Relating to: the value of tangible personal property allowed in state correctional facilities.
Maddy summaryThis Wisconsin bill, SB 21, establishes specific monetary limits on the personal property that prisoners and residents of state correctional facilities are allowed to own. Under the proposed rules, inmates could possess musical instruments or electronic items up to a value of $350, while other non-medical items would be capped at $150 each. The legislation also sets the legal framework for these allowances by creating a new section in the state statutes. Although the bill passed the legislature, it was vetoed by the Governor and ultimately failed to become law.
