Annual reports on prison and jail segregation

The law requires county and regional jails to report how they use segregation. They must report on people kept in a cell for at least 22 hours in a 24-hour day. The report covers the prior calendar year. It must show how many people were segregated, how long each segregation lasted, and why. Segregation means separating someone from the general jail population for administrative or punishment reasons. For state prisons, the Corrections Commissioner must send the same data by January 15, 2026, and every year after. After reviewing these reports, the Legislature’s criminal justice committee may submit bills to address issues raised by the reports.
