This bill would require the Department of Correction to report separately on in-person and tele-visits and provide more detailed reporting on the reasons jail visits are not completed. The bill would also require the Department of Correction to record interactions in which a person in custody is informed about a visitor and refuses to attend the visit and, upon request, provide those video recordings to defense attorneys.
