Amends TCA Title 8; Title 12; Title 40 and Title 41.

Tennessee SB1115 mandates a 10% reduction in the inmate population at certain correctional facilities if the death rate of inmates at those facilities is twice that of comparable state-operated facilities. This bill affects facilities operated under contracts for correctional services and requires the Department of Correction to implement population reductions within 90 days of reporting the death rates. Key provisions include the use of the department's annual statistical abstract for reporting and the ongoing requirement to reduce the population until conditions improve.
