HB80

Virginia HB80 mandates reporting of civilian deaths in custody at local and regional adult correctional facilities.

Virginia HB80 requires law enforcement agencies and state or juvenile correctional facilities to report details of civilian deaths in custody to the Department of Corrections. This includes the deceased's name, gender, race, ethnicity, age, date, time, and location of death, and a description of the circumstances and cause of death. Non-compliant local or regional adult correctional facilities may face withholding of funds and ineligibility for state grants. The State Board of Local and Regional Jails must provide this data upon request.
