HB 1416 requires the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to develop policies that ensure female inmates have equitable access to programs such as parenting classes, education, vocational training, substance use treatment, and rehabilitation. These programs must be accessible within 45 days of the inmate's arrival at the facility. The bill also mandates an annual report to state leadership on available programs and any policy changes.
