H.B. 7302: An Act Concerning Isolated Confinement and Correctional Staff Training and Wellness

This bill prohibits solitary confinement of vulnerable populations, including juveniles, creates limitations on the use of solitary confinement overall, and requires additional transparency regarding the use of solitary confinement in Connecticut prisons.
