To amend chapter 217, RSMo, relating to offenders in correctional centers, by adding five new sections relating to the same subject.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI, AS FOLLOWS:

     Section A. Chapter 217, RSMo, is amended by adding five new sections, to be known as sections 217.438, 217.439, 217.442, 217.445 and 217.447, to read as follows:

     217.438. 1. As used in sections 217.438 to 217.447 of this act, the term "adult programming" shall mean any television program which contains nudity or adult language and which contains the message "viewer discretion advised" prior to the airing of such program.

     217.439. 1. No adult programming shall be aired in any state correctional center.

     2. The department shall promulgate rules which allow offenders television privileges based upon the number of hours such offenders work.

     3. The cost of providing television service to offenders shall be charged to the offenders.

     217.442. 1. The department shall restrict all offenders in correctional centers, other than minimum security correctional centers, to their cells except for the following activities:

     (1) Eating;

     (2) Working;

     (3) Attending education classes;

     (4) Attending religious services;

     (5) Seeking medical treatment;

     (6) Receiving visitors; and

     (7) Exercise, limited to one hour per day.

     2. The department may establish policies governing the time offenders in minimum security correctional centers may spend out of their cells. The department shall establish procedures at each correctional center to ensure that no more than one-third of the offenders at such correctional center have the same or overlapping recreation time.

     217.445. Offenders with fewer than two years remaining until their conditional release date shall have first priority to participate in educational programs and drug rehabilitation programs offered by the department.

     217.447. The department shall not place offenders within the second degree of consanguinity in the same correctional center, unless such placement is necessary because:

     (1) Both offenders must be placed in a particular correctional center based upon the nature of their offense; or

     (2) Space constraints at other appropriate correctional centers require that both offenders be placed in the same correctional center.
