Assembly Judiciary Committee meeting Tuesday. The New Jersey Assembly is moving quickly to address the continuing problem of sexual assaults at the state’s only women’s prison, as well as to better the treatment of inmates throughout the corrections system. On Tuesday, six bills cleared Assembly committees in rapid succession, poising them for final passage by the full house Thursday. Four arose from the U.S. Department of Justice’s scathing April 2020 report on sexual assaults at the Edna Mahan Women’s Correctional Facility, a daylong hearing two Assembly committees held in light of physical assaults in January that left at least two inmates seriously injured and a subsequent tour by lawmakers of the Hunterdon County prison last month.
