Comments
What does this bill do?
Does it force a prisoner to accept a visit from a victim? Does this mean you could go in every day and verbally berate a prisoner and they will have to sit there and take it?
If it doesn't force a visit, how is this different from signing up for a visit now?
It isn't and it's stupid because it excludes death penalty inmates who are the most likely to want to participate in restorative justice programs.
