LB99

Nebraska LB99 limits restrictive housing and bans solitary confinement for inmates.

Nebraska LB99 amends the Nebraska Treatment and Corrections Act to limit the use of restrictive housing and prohibit solitary confinement. The bill defines restrictive housing and solitary confinement, and mandates that inmates cannot be held in restrictive housing for more than fifteen consecutive days. It also prohibits placing more than one inmate in a single cell designed for one individual, unless all inmates agree in writing.
