Explanation

(This amendment provides $250,000 GF the second year for expanded and subsidized prison family video visitation services. The purpose of this budget amendment is to promote public safety by allowing constructive reintegration for offenders with their families and children, to increase family and community ties prior to the release of the offender, and decrease the likelihood of recidivism.)
