Summary
The bill amends the Unified Code of Corrections so that the Director of Corrections and the Director of Juvenile Justice must report specific data on inmates aged 18 to 21 who are in adult prisons or transferred to juvenile facilities for the High School Diploma Program. The reports go to the Governor and the General Assembly. This adds transparency about how many young adults are participating in the education program and their outcomes.
