Committee on Public Safety & Law Enforcement
Overview
Instructs the Arizona Department of Corrections (DOC) to complete a study into the possible
use of the Marana prison site as a transitional facility by June 1, 2026.
History
DOC encompasses the institutions, facilities and programs that are part of the statewide
adult correctional system. DOC also provides supervisory staff for all matters relating to
institutionalization rehabilitation and community supervision of all adult offenders (A.R.S. §
41-1602).
In November 2023, it was announced that the private prison contract for the management of
the Arizona State Prison–Marana, a minimum security state facility, would not be renewed
going into 2024 (Governor's Office).
Provisions
1. Directs DOC to conduct a comprehensive study that:
a) determines whether the Marana prison site could be converted into a transitional
facility for inmates who are set to be released within 60 days of their scheduled release
date;
b) evaluates the feasibility of using the Marana prison site to establish a program that
provides inmates with transitional skills and services; and
c) analyzes current resources that may be used to establish the transitional facility and
program and determine what additional state resources are necessary for the facility
and program. (Sec. 1)
2. Requires DOC to submit a report on the study's findings and recommendations to the
Governor, President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives by June
1, 2026. (Sec. 1)
3. Repeals the study on July 1, 2026. (Sec. 1)
