When inmates are released from South Dakota correctional facilities, this bill clarifies that officials must provide three things: suitable clothing, money (amount set by the corrections secretary), and transportation. The transportation requirement now gives inmates a choice of three destination options—their home county, the county where they were sentenced, or another location of equivalent distance—rather than leaving the destination unspecified.
