SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)

Correctional centers; adult and juvenile; penalties. For selected offenses, imposes the same penalties for offenses committed by persons confined in a juvenile correctional center as currently exist for adult prisoners. Persons who deliver certain items to committed juveniles or allow their escape will face penalties comparable to the same conduct involving adult prisoners. The bill makes it a Class 6 felony, with a six-month mandatory minimum term of confinement, to assault persons directly involved in the care, treatment, or supervision of persons in the custody of the Department of Corrections engaged in the performance of public duties; under current law this provision applies to employees of the Department of Corrections.
