Prisons.

Summary

The bill would strip correctional officers and other prison employees of any accrued public retirement benefits if they are convicted of sexually assaulting an inmate, applying both retroactively and to future hires. It also orders the construction of a new 100‑cell building at the Central California Women’s Facility and adds camera, staffing, and inmate‑transfer requirements. The measures aim to increase accountability for staff misconduct and improve safety and oversight in women’s prisons.
