This bill updates language in state law regarding the Department of Corrections by replacing outdated references to "the penitentiary" with the more current term "state correctional facility." The change allows the Governor to offer rewards for the capture of escaped inmates from any state correctional facility, not just the penitentiary specifically, reflecting modern corrections operations.
