a new bill was introduced by councilman danny dromm would require the department of correction to post a monthly report on its website about punitive segregation. it would also require data on the number of people in punitive segregation, the length of time in this setting, the nature of the infractions, age, mental health, if they were prescribed medication or moved to a hospital, violence against others and inmate requests. many are supportive of this bill with the goal being to make jail facilities safer for inmates and correction officers.individuals who are released and experience solitary confinement go back into their communities and reoffend at higher rates than general population prisoners causing them to land back into prison. policy changes that will reduce the use and long-term impact of segregation will benefit not only the staff and prisoners in these units but also ultimately the well-being of facilities, systems, and the community. councilman dromm also issued a separate resolution seeking to end the practice of the time owed. for example, an inmate, because of good behavior or other reasons, might only have served 100 of his or her 180-day sentence in solitary and then was released. a few years or even decades later the person is rearrested. under current rules he or she must complete those unserved 80 days in solitary. this resolution however is only a request since the council does not have the authority to make the department of correction adhere.
