BILL NUMBER: S791 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the correction law, in relation to work release programs PURPOSE : This bill would mandate that work release programs for inmates shall not be allowed to operate in areas zoned exclusively residential by a municipality. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Section 1: amends subdivision 3 of section 852 of the Correction Law, as amended by Chapter 691 of the Laws of 1997. Work release programs may no longer operate in areas zoned exclusively residential by municipalities. JUSTIFICATION : Due to a multitude of problems with work release programs for inmates, it is necessary to tighten regulations of such programs. This bill aims to close a rather troublesome loophole regarding inmates being released for work programs in residential areas.
