HB 2711-S - DIGEST

(AS OF HOUSE 2ND READING 2/8/96)

     Declares an intent to meet the following goals by establishing an illegal alien offender program:  (1) Expediting deportation of illegal alien offenders;

     (2) reducing daily costs of incarceration;

     (3) centralizing the confinement of deportable illegal aliens in order to better address the needs and issues regarding deportation issues;

     (4) making available work programs for illegal alien offenders but only limited education programs, inasmuch as the offenders will be deported upon completion of the program instead of being assimilated back into United States society;

     (5) restricting illegal alien offenders' access to privileges; and

     (6) maximizing use of nonstate resources for the costs of incarceration.
