Mississippi HB1697 mandates case plans for inmates who committed violent offenses, including specific programs to reduce recidivism.

Mississippi HB1697 requires the Department of Corrections to develop case plans for inmates who committed violent offenses. These plans must include screening for physiological and social issues, and programs like Love Your Neighbor. The case plans must be completed within 90 days of admission and include programming based on risk and needs assessments. The caseworker must meet with the inmate every 8 weeks to review progress, and the department must submit progress reports to the Parole Board every 4 months. The Parole Board can review the case plans and provide feedback.
