Concerning restrictions on the placement of inmates of different biological sexes in correctional facilities.

Summary

The bill adds a rule that an inmate who has current charges or prior convictions for a sex, violent, or domestic‑violence offense cannot be placed in a room or cell with another inmate of the opposite biological sex if the inmate’s past victim was of that same sex. It targets only those inmates with such a history and is intended to reduce the risk of further sexual or physical harm. The provision would become part of Washington’s RCW 72.09.
