HB1322

Hawaii HB1322 restricts solitary confinement in correctional facilities, particularly for vulnerable populations, and mandates reviews and policies.

Hawaii HB1322 aims to restrict the use of solitary confinement in state-operated and state-contracted correctional facilities. It prohibits placing members of vulnerable populations, including those under 21, over 60, with disabilities, or serious medical conditions, in solitary confinement. Exceptions are allowed only if protective custody is necessary to prevent harm and less restrictive interventions are insufficient.
