| | | The bill also creates a supervision fee payment provision for | | probationers and parolees transferred to Maine from other states | | that is analogous to the supervision fee payment provision for | | probationers placed under the supervision of the department by | | Maine courts. |
|
| | | The bill allows the imposition of a fine as a punishment for a | | prisoner committing a disciplinary offense. |
|
| | | The bill requires the Commissioner of Corrections, instead of | | each facility's chief administrative officer, to adopt rules for | | the prisoners' account. |
|
| | | Finally, the bill ensures that prisoners will not have access | | to, and thus the ability to manipulate, documents used to screen | | or assess prisoners. |
