A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4673 AS INTRODUCED 4-25-01
The Code of Criminal Procedure specifies that a prisoner who is subject to disciplinary time must be confined in a secure correctional facility, except for supervised periods when he or she is allowed out, such as when visiting a sick relative. House Bill 4673 would amend the act to specify that this requirement could not prevent such a prisoner who had successfully completed a program of "special alternative incarceration" (or "boot camp"), as provided under the act, from being placed on parole before the expiration of his or her minimum sentence.
