2013 Public Safety Act

Mandate that at least 15% of the General Fund monies budgeted for the Department are auditably focused on rehabilitation, vocational education, re-entry, and transition programs.

Why is this important?

Require the Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation to truly implement vocationaland other rehabilitational programs so that inmates who will be released have the possibility of finding employment rather than having to depend upon crime for shelter & sustenance.
