Title: Re: NE5: Prison Reform Act Post by: cinyc on April 07, 2016, 09:50:09 PM There is no such thing as NE5 for a regular bill - or NE4, for that matter., unless it is the budget. There can only be 3 pieces of legislation other than the budget on the Assembly floor at a time. This should stay in the queue until another bill is passed and signed into law or fails.

Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: Kingpoleon on April 09, 2016, 03:04:55 PM Mr. Governor, Section Two sounds a lot like prison segregation to me. Could you explain it?
Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: Blair on April 09, 2016, 03:36:22 PM Apologies for not getting back to this-I've been travelling to uni today and only just got back/settled in.
Article 2 needs redrafting on my behalf- I didn't intent to segregate but rather great a separate wing if that was required/needed by certain groups of prisioners. Other than that I think it's a small bill that Assembly members should be able to get on board with-it introduces market incentives to private prisons (who despite the bad press only make up 9% of total prisons) Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: Kingpoleon on April 09, 2016, 03:43:51 PM Apologies for not getting back to this-I've been travelling to uni today and only just got back/settled in.

Tbh who cares what bigoted groups are going to say? I mean it's like saying if we allow gay marriage people will say that gay divorce rates are going to go up-people can claim whatever they want Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: Blair on April 12, 2016, 09:46:08 AM Any further thoughts on this?
Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: This account no longer in use. on April 12, 2016, 01:03:38 PM No; I believe this is a great bill to pass.
Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: LLR on April 12, 2016, 01:25:56 PM "Vulnerable prisoners" is a very general term; what are your methods for defining this?
I think it should include veterans (if it doesn't already) Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: Kingpoleon on April 12, 2016, 04:06:28 PM I also suggest stricter punishment for guards found guilty of abusing, bullying, taunting, teasing or/and etc., of any of the prisoners.

True. I'll submit an amendment when I get a chance. Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: Kingpoleon on April 12, 2016, 06:25:11 PM I motion for a 36 hour extension to ~7 P. M. CST on Thursday.

Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: This account no longer in use. on April 14, 2016, 04:46:45 PM Perfect. I'll submit an amendment after dinner.
Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: Kingpoleon on April 14, 2016, 06:36:47 PM I motion for a sixty hour extension. I was off by forty-eight hours last time. This would give us twelve hours from thirty minutes from now.

I open for a final vote
Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: This account no longer in use. on April 16, 2016, 11:08:34 AM Aye. Although it's not perfect, it's good enough.
Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: SWE on April 16, 2016, 11:16:10 AM Unless something changed since I was last a representative, there aren't any private prisons in the NE.
Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: Blair on April 16, 2016, 03:30:45 PM Unless something changed since I was last a representative, there aren't any private prisons in the NE. Did we outlaw them?

Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: Blair on April 17, 2016, 08:55:42 AM I'm going to have to take the extremely embarrassing step of vetoing my own bill- purely because it's invalid in attempting to regulate private prisons. I'll redraft something in the next couple of hours to actually make it work

Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: LLR on April 18, 2016, 06:41:58 PM Doesn't look bad, but maybe there should be a penalty to violators and poorly administrated prisons?
Title: Re: NE3: Prison Reform Act Post by: Blair on April 19, 2016, 07:35:55 AM Doesn't look bad, but maybe there should be a penalty to violators and poorly administrated prisons? I was thinking of adding performance targets/rankings into the system- even if it's regional ran service they should still be ran to high standards |
