S.B. 458, An Act Concerning Substance Use Disorder Services and Mental Health Services to Individuals Who Are Incarcerated

Senate Bill 458 is a good step in ensuring that people incarcerated in this state have access to mental health services and substance use disorder treatment services while they are in prison. But, the ACLU-CT urges this Committee to go further and pass legislation to end conditions likely to detrimentally harm a person’s mental health, like solitary confinement. The ACLU-CT enthusiastically supports Senate Bill 458 and encourages this Committee to do the same.
