Thank you. I really appreciate that question.
When I read it and I went to the institution, I spoke with the wardens and they actually brought that up. When I went back and reread how the bill stood, I could understand very clearly why they were concerned with that particular terminology of the word “plan”, as Ms. Hoeppner mentioned.
Basically, within the correctional system a plan is multi-faceted, multi-paged, long term, administrative, and so on. The intention of this bill, and the way I had interpreted it when I put the bill together, was that it was going to be a very simple outline. It would be a generic document that would be used to assist inmates; it would not be an individual plan that would be hours or days or weeks in the making.
Again, it's a generic document that would be applied to all offenders to assist them in changing the direction of how they're logging their complaints.
