Support for Returning Citizens in District of Columbia

This act aims to facilitate the reintegration of individuals returning to the District of Columbia from federal prisons. It ensures that D.C. authorities receive crucial information about these individuals, enabling better preparation of support and reintegration programs. The information will be protected, not shared with D.C. law enforcement, but can be provided to lawyers and organizations assisting with reentry.
Key points
District of Columbia authorities will regularly receive data on D.C. residents in federal prisons, including their name, age, facility, and scheduled release date.
Upon the Mayor's request, the District will receive additional information provided to the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency.
The received data is strictly protected; it cannot be disclosed outside the D.C. government and will not be shared with local law enforcement agencies.
Information can be shared with lawyers and organizations that provide legal representation or assist with reentry matters.
