Amendment #2 to H4860

Use of Force within the DOC

Ms. Sabadosa of Northampton moves to amend the bill, as amended, in Section 82 by inserting after the words "formerly-incarcerated woman" the following:

In order to establish clear limitations on the use of physical force by correctional officers, the commission shall collect and analyze data on the use of force against inmates. Further, the department of correction and sheriffs’ departments shall provide the commission access to any and all reports written pursuant to 103 CMR 505.13 (1) and (2), or successor provisions. The commission shall ascertain whether the information provided is uniform, standardized and reasonably complete and, if not, shall recommend policies to increase uniformity, standardization and completeness.
