HB1322

South Dakota will now require correctional facilities to provide discharged inmates with clothing, money determined by the corrections secretary, and transportation to one of three locations: the county where they lived when arrested, the county where they were sentenced, or a location of equivalent distance to either of those two counties, whichever involves less mileage. This replaces the previous rule that only required these items "if not already provided" and clarifies that inmates have a choice of destination rather than being transported to a single predetermined location.
