life sentence with consideration given to those who do not pose an
ongoing risk to society.
HEALTH CARE
Sec. 802. As a condition of expenditure of the funds
appropriated in part 1, the department shall provide the senate and
house of representatives appropriations subcommittees on
corrections, the legislative corrections ombudsman, the senate and
house fiscal agencies, and the state budget director with quarterly
reports on physical and mental health care detailing quarterly and
fiscal year-to-date expenditures itemized by vendor, allocations,
status of payments from contractors to vendors, and projected year-
end expenditures from accounts for prisoner health care, mental
health care, pharmaceutical services, and durable medical
equipment.
Sec. 803. (1) The department shall assure that all prisoners,
upon any health care treatment, are given the opportunity to sign a
release of information form designating a family member or other
individual to whom the department shall release records information
regarding a prisoner. A release of information form signed by a
prisoner shall remain in effect for 1 year, and the prisoner may
elect to withdraw or amend the release form at any time.
(2) The department shall assure that any such signed release
forms follow prisoners upon transfer to another department facility
or to the supervision of a parole officer.

utilization. The report shall include the number of inpatient
hospital days, outpatient visits, emergency room visits, and
prisoners receiving off-site inpatient medical care in the previous
quarter, by facility.
Sec. 806. From the funds appropriated in part 1 for substance
abuse testing and treatment services, the department shall
implement the living in recovery program serving at least 250
offenders in the current fiscal year. The purpose of this new

program to determine the number of participants that succeeded, the
number that failed and were returned to prison, and the number that
failed, but were not returned to prison.
Sec. 807. From the funds appropriated in part 1 for clinical

(2) The department shall provide the senate and house
appropriations subcommittees on corrections, the legislative

the state budget director with quarterly updates on the utilization
of Medicaid benefits for prisoners.
CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES ADMINISTRATION
Sec. 904. The department shall calculate the per prisoner/per
day cost for each prisoner security custody level. This calculation
shall include all actual direct and indirect costs for the previous
fiscal year, including, but not limited to, the value of services
provided to the department by other state agencies and the
allocation of statewide legacy costs. To calculate the per
prisoner/per day costs, the department shall divide these direct
and indirect costs by the average daily population for each custody
level. For multilevel facilities, the indirect costs that cannot be
accurately allocated to each custody level can be included in the
calculation on a per-prisoner basis for each facility. A report
summarizing these calculations and the direct and indirect costs
included in them shall be submitted to the senate and house
appropriations subcommittees on corrections, the legislative
corrections ombudsman, the senate and house fiscal agencies, and
the state budget director not later than December 15.
Sec. 906. Any local unit of government or private nonprofit
organization that contracts with the department for public works
services shall be responsible for financing the entire cost of such
an agreement.
Sec. 907. The department shall report by March 1 to the senate
and house appropriations subcommittees on corrections, the

agencies, and the state budget director on academic and vocational
programs. The report shall provide information relevant to an
assessment of the department's academic and vocational programs,
including, but not limited to, all of the following:
(a) The number of instructors and the number of instructor
vacancies, by program and facility.
(b) The number of prisoners enrolled in each program, the
number of prisoners completing each program, the number of
prisoners transferred to another facility while enrolled in a
program and the reason for transfer, the number of prisoners
enrolled who repeat the program, and the number of prisoners on
waiting lists for each program, all itemized by facility.
(c) The steps the department has undertaken to improve
programs, track records, accommodate transfers and prisoners with
health care needs, and reduce waiting lists.
(d) The number of prisoners paroled without a high school
diploma and the number of prisoners paroled without a high school
equivalency.
(e) An explanation of the value and purpose of each program,
for example, to improve employability, reduce recidivism, reduce
prisoner idleness, or some combination of these and other factors.
(f) An identification of program outcomes for each academic
and vocational program.
(g) An explanation of the department's plans for academic and
vocational programs, including plans to contract with intermediate
school districts for high school equivalency and high school
diploma programs.
(h) The number of prisoners not paroled at their earliest
release date due to lack of a high school equivalency, and the
reason those prisoners have not obtained a high school equivalency.
Sec. 908. From the funds appropriated in part 1, the
department shall explore the feasibility of establishing an online
career high school education pilot program, or other alternatives
to providing prisoners with a high school diploma in lieu of a high
school equivalency. The department shall explore establishing
outside partnerships to assist the department with providing high
school diplomas. The department shall submit a report by October 15
to the senate and house appropriations subcommittees on
corrections, the senate and house fiscal agencies, the legislative
corrections ombudsman, and the state budget director that describes
the necessary steps the department would have to take, the
resources the department would need, any departmental
organizational changes that would be required, and the feasibility
of the department's forming outside partnerships to assist with
providing prisoners with a high school diploma in lieu of a high
school equivalency.
Sec. 909. From the funds appropriated in part 1, the
department shall focus on providing career-based educational
programming for prisoners, to include vocational trade programs and
employment readiness programs.
Sec. 910. The department shall allow the Michigan Braille
transcribing fund program to operate at its current location. The
donation of the building by the Michigan Braille transcribing fund
at the G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility in Jackson is
acknowledged and appreciated. The department shall continue to
encourage the Michigan Braille transcribing fund program to produce
high-quality materials for use by the visually impaired.
Sec. 911. By March 1, the department shall report to the
senate and house appropriations subcommittees on corrections, the
senate and house fiscal agencies, the legislative corrections
ombudsman, and the state budget director the number of critical
incidents occurring each month by type and the number and severity
of assaults, escape attempts, suicides, and attempted suicides
occurring each month at each facility during the immediately
preceding calendar year.
Sec. 913. (1) From the funds appropriated in part 1, the

prisoners who are past their earliest release date because of not
having received the required programming. Programming includes, but
is not limited to, violence prevention programming, assaultive
offender programming, sexual offender programming, substance abuse
treatment programming, thinking for a change programming, and any
other programming that is required as a condition of parole.
(2) Any prisoner required to complete programming shall be
transferred to a facility where that program is available in order
to accomplish timely completion of that program prior to the
expiration of his or her minimum sentence and eligibility for
parole. Nothing in this section should be deemed to make parole
denial appealable in court.
(3) The department shall submit a quarterly report to the
members of the senate and house appropriations subcommittees on
corrections, the senate and house fiscal agencies, the state budget
director, and the legislative corrections ombudsman detailing
enrollment in sex offender programming, assaultive offender
programming, violent offender programming, and thinking for change.
At a minimum, the report shall include the following:
(a) A full accounting of the number of individuals who are
required to complete the programming, but have not yet done so.
(b) The number of individuals who have reached their earliest
release date, but who have not completed required programming.
(c) A plan of action for addressing any waiting lists or
backlogs for programming that may exist.
Sec. 924. The department shall evaluate all prisoners at
intake for substance abuse disorders, serious developmental
disorders, serious mental illness, and other mental health
disorders. Prisoners with serious mental illness or serious
developmental disorders shall not be removed from the general
population as a punitive response to behavior caused by their
serious mental illness or serious developmental disorder. Due to
persistent high violence risk or severe disruptive behavior that is
unresponsive to treatment, prisoners with serious mental illness or
serious developmental disorders may be placed in secure residential
housing programs that will facilitate access to institutional
programming and ongoing mental health services. A prisoner with
serious mental illness or serious developmental disorder who is
confined in these specialized housing programs shall be evaluated
or monitored by a medical professional at a frequency of not less
than every 12 hours.
Sec. 925. By March 1, the department shall report to the
senate and house appropriations subcommittees on corrections, the
senate and house fiscal agencies, the legislative corrections
ombudsman, and the state budget director on the annual number of
prisoners in administrative segregation between October 1, 2015 and
September 30, 2016, and the annual number of prisoners in
administrative segregation between October 1, 2015 and September
30, 2016 who at any time during the current or prior prison term
were diagnosed with serious mental illness or have a developmental
disorder and the number of days each of the prisoners with serious
mental illness or a developmental disorder have been confined to
administrative segregation.
Sec. 929. From the funds appropriated in part 1, the
department shall do all of the following:
(a) Ensure that any inmate care and control staff in contact
with prisoners less than 18 years of age are adequately trained
with regard to the developmental and mental health needs of
prisoners less than 18 years of age. By April 1, the department
shall report to the senate and house appropriations subcommittees
on corrections, the senate and house fiscal agencies, and the state
budget director on the training curriculum used and the number and
types of staff receiving annual training under that curriculum.
(b) Provide appropriate placement for prisoners less than 18
years of age who have serious mental illness, serious emotional
disturbance, or a serious developmental disorder and need to be
housed separately from the general population. Prisoners less than
18 years of age who have serious mental illness, serious emotional
disturbance, or a serious developmental disorder shall not be
removed from an existing placement as a punitive response to
behavior caused by their serious mental illness, serious emotional
disturbance, or a serious developmental disorder. Due to persistent
high violence risk or severe disruptive behavior that is
unresponsive to treatment, prisoners less than 18 years of age with
serious emotional disturbance, serious mental illness, or serious
developmental disorders may be placed in secure residential housing
programs that will facilitate access to institutional programming
and ongoing mental health services. A prisoner less than 18 years
of age with serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance,
or a serious developmental disorder who is confined in these
specialized housing programs shall be evaluated or monitored by a
medical professional at a frequency of not less than every 12
hours.
(c) Implement a specialized reentry program that recognizes
the needs of prisoners less than 18 years old for supervised
reentry.
Sec. 942. The department shall ensure that any contract with a
public or private party to operate a facility to house state
prisoners includes a provision to allow access by both the office
of the legislative auditor general and the office of the
legislative corrections ombudsman to the facility and to
appropriate records and documents related to the operation of the
facility. These access rights for both offices shall be the same
for the contracted facility as for a general state-operated
correctional facility.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Sec. 1000. From the funds appropriated in part 1 for
information technology services and projects, the department shall
expand bandwidth in 27 correctional facilities and 113 field
operations offices. The purpose of this bandwidth expansion is to
support critical information technology systems that provide
platforms for several mandated programs and department cost savings
efforts.
MISCELLANEOUS
Sec. 1009. The department shall make an information packet for
the families of incoming prisoners available on the department's
website. The information packet shall be updated by February 1 of
each year. The packet shall provide information on topics
including, but not limited to: how to put money into prisoner
accounts, how to make phone calls or create Jpay email accounts,
how to visit in person, proper procedures for filing complaints or
grievances, the rights of prisoners to physical and mental health
care, how to utilize the offender tracking information system
(OTIS), truth-in-sentencing and how it applies to minimum
sentences, the parole process, and guidance on the importance of
the role of families in the reentry process. The department is
encouraged to partner with external advocacy groups and actual
families of prisoners in the packet-writing process to ensure that
the information is useful and complete.
ONE-TIME APPROPRIATIONS
Sec. 1100. From the funds appropriated in part 1 for new
custody staff training, the department shall increase the training
capacity for new custody staff by 350 officers. The purpose of this
