Illinois SB2777 establishes a 5-year pilot program to remove gang tattoos from inmates in three designated facilities.
Illinois SB2777 amends the Unified Code of Corrections to create a 5-year pilot program in three Department of Corrections institutions or facilities. The program allows inmates with gang tattoos to have them removed by authorized medical professionals or licensed tattoo removal technicians. If the inmate's Residents' Benefit Fund balance is $500 or more, the fund will cover the removal cost; otherwise, the removal will be free. The Director of Corrections will set reasonable costs for removal if the balance exceeds $500. The bill defines "gang tattoo" and "tattoo" for clarity.
