Statement summary
Mumina Egal and Anna VanCleave jointly urged repeal, arguing that prison debt obstructs reentry and that taking inheritances and settlements harms families without a sound fiscal rationale.
Connecticut charges incarcerated people up to $347 a day and can collect the debt for 20 years after release, including from settlements and inheritances. A 2026 investigation found the state collected about $21 million this way since 2020.
