SB 17 - This act limits the activities of offenders under the supervision of the Department of Corrections.

No adult programming, defined as programming with nudity and adult language where "viewer discretion is advised", shall be aired at any correctional center. Offenders shall be charged for television usage and the Department of Corrections may restrict television based upon the amount of time offenders work.

Offenders shall be restricted to their cells in all correctional centers except for basic activities such as eating, receiving visitors, and exercising. This provision shall not apply to offenders in minimum security facilities.

Offenders with less than two years remaining before their conditional release date shall have priority to participate in education and drug rehabilitation programs.

No two offenders within the second degree of consanguinity shall be housed in the same correctional center. This would include brothers, uncles/nephews, parents/children and grandparents/grandchildren. Such relatives may be housed in the same facility if they commit certain crimes (ex. sex offenses) or if no space is available at another facility.
