services provided to inmates or to
supplement the loss of federal funding to
support such educational or drug
treatment services. The General Assembly

Mental Hygiene, the Maryland State
Department of Education, the
Department of Budget and Management,
and the Department of Public Safety and
Correctional Services (DPSCS) to submit
a report to the budget committees on or
before September 1, 2004, which develops
a plan entitled the Reentry Enforcement

Services Targeting Addiction,

Rehabilitation, and Treatment

(RESTART) plan that addresses
addiction, rehabilitation, and treatment of
inmates in the State's custody and
specifically responds to the following
concerns:

(1)    programs available for each category
of release (e.g., parole, mandatory
release, and expiration of sentence);

(2)    space available for programmatic
activities;

(3)    effectiveness of mandatory

treatment from a substance abuse
and criminological perspective;

(4)    information technology needs to
implement this program;

(5)    security impact and costs of
increased inmate movement;

(6)    current criminological, psychological,
and substance abuse needs of the
target population;

(7)    differences in the proposed program
and the boot camp program;

(8)    operating costs by program
component;
