[Britanno]

There's so many bills!

[Ainin]

Thoughts? Just an early draft that's still missing some stuff.

Correctional Services Act
Author: Alexander Ainin [TR] | Urgency: Utmost | SIMBEDS Category: Order | Sponsors: Maklohi Vai [LD]

Whereas the need for detention and rehabilitation facilities grows more and more urgent every day that passes by,

Whereas Aurentina's lack of prisons have led to less-than-adequate holding facilities being used by the Constabulary, Gendarmerie and other civilian law enforcement agencies in the Commonwealth,

The Senate of Aurentina enacts the following clauses as law:

1. Clause 1c of the Judicial Act is struck out and replaced with:
   A felony is defined as the most serious kind of crime that could of resulted or has caused the death of an individual or a group, or has otherwise caused severe psychological or physical damage. Examples include murder, rape or arson. A felony shall be trialed before a panel of judges and shall be subject to the most severe forms of punishment. A perpetrator of a felony is mandated to receive a prison sentence at or over 10 (depending on the crime, the minimum could be more) and under 30 years, and may be up to £1,000,000; it is a maximum fine of £10,000,000 against corporations.
2. The Aurentine Office of Corrections [AOC], henceforth known in this act as The Office, is created as a subordinate agency of the Ministry of Justice.
3. The Office holds jurisdiction over all civilians in Aurentina, save for civilian instructors and contractors of the Armed Forces.
4. All suspects arrested by the Constabulary, Gendarmerie and Animal Protection Force must be transferred to the jurisdiction of the Office within 48 hours of the initial arrest.
5. All permanent civilian detention facilities currently in the ownership of any and all government agencies, excluding jails in police stations and gendarmerie bases, are transferred to the Office effective immediately.

7. The Office shall put in place programs to rehabilitate inmates and to improve their odds of reintegration in modern society after the end of their incarceration.
8. The Conditional Release Board is created as a subordinate agency of the Office. It shall be tasked with hearing, once per year, an appeal by inmates to be released under supervision. All inmates are eligible for a conditional release hearing when half of their term is served.

I'll add a clause that allows for house arrest after the term is served if a court deems it necessary so that deranged psychopaths don't get let out just like that later.

Sorry, I can't sponsor that. The absence of life imprisonment and capital punishment (I can settle for just having the former, though) are what, quite frankly, turn me off.

[Battlion]

Battlion, I have a question about the National Examination Act. It says that every examination taken in public school will be a national examination. This means that even a small test would have to go through two rounds of scoring by teachers that have to specially qualified by the Ministry of Education as test markers. For standardized tests, that's good, but what about ordinary classroom tests? It seems very cumbersome for a regular math test or something of the sort, for example.

Thank you for pointing out the technical language, this was not intended and it shall be changed.

[Ainin]

It also abolishes life imprisonment, creates a parole board and creates rehabilitation programs.

I'll add a clause that allows for house arrest after the term is served if a court deems it necessary so that deranged psychopaths don't get let out just like that later.

Sorry, I can't sponsor that. The absence of life imprisonment and capital punishment (I can settle for just having the former, though) are what, quite frankly, turn me off.

Well to implement the death penalty, you'd have to repeal the Restricting Capital Punishment Act, that IIRC passed by an extremely large margin.

And my moral compass refuses to implement life imprisonment, as it is an overtly harsh sentence. And plus, if you can't learn your wrongs after 30 years of rehabilitation, you can still indefinitely be put in house arrest according to this act.

House arrest for an indefinite period... Come to think of it, sounds almost like life imprisonment to me.

Yes. If you've committed a violent crime and have been deemed by experts to still be dangerous to society at release, you can still be detained, albeit in your own house and with supervised exits.
