Nevada SB323 revises provisions relating to offenders, including charges for audio and video calls and establishing a permanent program for telephone.

Nevada SB323 revises provisions relating to offenders by prohibiting the Department from charging an offender more than the actual cost for audio or video calls. It also codifies and makes permanent a pilot program established by SB 234, which provides telephone calls between offenders in the custody of the McClure Women’s Correctional Center and their families. The program is designed to facilitate and encourage a continuing relationship between the offenders and their families, providing each offender with a 15-minute telephone call each day free of charge.
