320 | Section 10. Section 944.804, Florida Statutes, is amended |
321 | to read: |
322 | 944.804 Elderly offenders correctional facilities program |
323 | of 2000.- |
324 | (1) The Legislature finds that the number and percentage |
325 | of elderly offenders in the Florida prison system are is |
326 | increasing and will continue to increase for the foreseeable |
327 | future. The current cost to incarcerate elderly offenders is |
328 | approximately three times the cost of incarceration of younger |
329 | inmates. Alternatives to the current approaches to housing, |
330 | programming, and treating the medical needs of elderly |
331 | offenders, which may reduce the overall costs associated with |
332 | this segment of the prison population, must be explored and |
333 | implemented. |
334 | (2) The department shall establish and operate a geriatric |
335 | facilities or geriatric dorms within a facility at the site |
336 | known as River Junction Correctional Institution, which shall be |
337 | an institution specifically for generally healthy elderly |
338 | offenders who can perform general work appropriate for their |
339 | physical and mental condition. Prior to reopening the facility, |
340 | the department shall make modifications to the facility which |
341 | will ensure its compliance with the Americans with Disabilities |
342 | Act and decrease the likelihood of falls, accidental injury, and |
343 | other conditions known to be particularly hazardous to the |
344 | elderly. |
345 | (a) In order to decrease long-term medical costs to the |
346 | state, a preventive fitness/wellness program and diet |
347 | specifically designed to maintain the mental and physical health |
348 | of elderly offenders shall be developed and implemented. In |
349 | developing the program, the department shall give consideration |
350 | to preventive medical care for the elderly which shall include, |
351 | but not be limited to, maintenance of bone density, all aspects |
352 | of cardiovascular health, lung capacity, mental alertness, and |
353 | orientation. Existing policies and procedures shall be |
354 | reexamined and altered to encourage offenders to adopt a more |
355 | healthy lifestyle and maximize their level of functioning. The |
356 | program components shall be modified as data and experience are |
357 | received that which measure the relative success of the program |
358 | components previously implemented. |
359 | (b) Consideration must be given to redirecting resources |
360 | as a method of offsetting increased medical costs. Elderly |
361 | offenders are not likely to reenter society as a part of the |
362 | workforce, and programming resources would be better spent in |
363 | activities to keep the elderly offenders healthy, alert, and |
364 | oriented. Limited or restricted programming or activities for |
365 | elderly offenders will increase the daily cost of institutional |
366 | and health care, and programming opportunities adequate to |
367 | reduce the cost of care will be provided. Programming shall |
368 | include, but not be limited to, recreation, education, and |
369 | counseling that which is needs-specific to elderly offenders. |
370 | Institutional staff shall be specifically trained to effectively |
371 | supervise elderly offenders and to detect physical or mental |
372 | changes that which warrant medical attention before more serious |
373 | problems develop. |
374 | (3) The department shall adopt rules that specify which |
375 | elderly offenders shall be eligible to be housed at the |
376 | geriatric correctional facilities or dorms River Junction |
377 | Correctional Institution. |
378 | (4) While developing the criteria for eligibility, the |
379 | department shall use the information in existing offender |
380 | databases to determine the number of offenders who would be |
381 | eligible. The Legislature directs the department to consider a |
382 | broad range of elderly offenders for the department's geriatric |
383 | facilities or dorms River Junction Correctional Institution who |
384 | have good disciplinary records and a medical grade that will |
385 | permit them to perform meaningful work activities, including |
386 | participation in an appropriate correctional work program |
387 | (PRIDE) facility, if available. |
388 | (5) The department shall also submit a study based on |
389 | existing offenders that which projects the number of existing |
390 | offenders who will qualify under the rules. An appendix to the |
391 | study shall identify the specific offenders who qualify. |
392 | Section 11. Section 944.8041, Florida Statutes, is amended |
393 | to read: |
394 | 944.8041 Elderly offenders; annual review.-For the purpose |
395 | of providing information to the Legislature on elderly offenders |
396 | within the correctional system, the department and the |
397 | Correctional Medical Authority shall each submit annually a |
398 | report on the status and treatment of elderly offenders in the |
399 | state-administered and private state correctional systems and, |
400 | as well as such information on the department's geriatric |
401 | facilities and dorms River Junction Correctional Institution. In |
402 | order to adequately prepare the reports, the department and the |
403 | Department of Management Services shall grant access to the |
404 | Correctional Medical Authority that which includes access to the |
405 | facilities, offenders, and any information the agencies require |
406 | to complete their reports. The review shall also include an |
407 | examination of promising geriatric policies, practices, and |
408 | programs currently implemented in other correctional systems |
409 | within the United States. The reports, with specific findings |
410 | and recommendations for implementation, shall be submitted to |
411 | the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of |
412 | Representatives on or before December 31 of each year. |
413 | Section 12. Subsections (4) and (5) of section 945.41, |
414 | Florida Statutes, are amended to read: |

444 | illness: |
445 | (a)1. The inmate is demonstrating a refusal to care for |
446 | himself or herself and without immediate treatment intervention |
447 | is likely to continue to refuse to care for himself or herself, |

450 | 2. There is an immediate, real, and present threat that |
451 | the inmate will inflict serious bodily harm on himself or |

638 | detention facility. The court, in determining whether to order |
639 | such repayment and the amount of the such repayment, shall |
640 | consider the amount of the debt, whether there was any fault of |
641 | the institution for the medical expenses incurred, the financial |

726 | 2. Confinement to a designated residence during designated |
727 | hours. |
728 | (2) The enumeration of specific kinds of terms and |
