The purpose of this legislation is to strengthen the penalties for providing prohibited items, specifically phones, to inmates in correctional facilities. It aims to address the issue of contraband in prisons, which can pose safety risks to both inmates and staff. One of the key provisions of this law is the increase in penalties for individuals caught supplying phones to inmates. Specifically, if someone is found guilty of this offense, they could face up to two years in prison. This change is intended to deter people from attempting to smuggle phones into correctional facilities.
