Introduced Text

Missouri HB2785 allows offenders to attend a relative's funeral under specific conditions.

Missouri HB2785 modifies the conditions under which an offender can be granted a furlough to attend a relative's funeral. The bill specifies that an offender may be allowed to visit designated places within the state for up to thirty days per year if the director believes the offender will honor their trust. If an offender does not obtain a furlough to attend a relative's funeral, they have the right to attend if the relative is an immediate family member and the offender is escorted to and from the funeral by department custody.
