The plan must minimize staff layoffs and maximize opportunities for staff of the facility designated for closure to transfer to vacant positions in other correctional facilities. The commissioner must engage staff and labor unions representing employees at the facility identified for closure and engage public officials from local units of government impacted by the proposed facility closure. The commissioner must: identify the potential adverse impacts of the closure on incarcerated individuals; minimize disruptions in conditions of confinement, rehabilitative programming, educational opportunities, mental health and medical care, family visitation, and case planning; and prioritize access to services that support rehabilitation and successful reentry across all state correctional facilities.
