HB1839 modifies Tennessee law to restrict the removal of inmates from local jails to state facilities under certain conditions.
HB1839 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 40 and Title 41, to change the conditions under which state inmates can be relocated from local jails to state facilities. Specifically, the bill prohibits the Department of Correction from removing an inmate from a local jail facility to a state facility if the inmate is participating in a work release or re-entry program, unless the inmate has failed to meet work release or in-house duty requirements or has a disciplinary record warranting removal. This act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
