HB 1428/SB 65 would create the Nelson Mandela Act and would bring Illinois into compliance with the Nelson Mandela Rules by limiting the use of isolated confinement in correctional facilities, and by requiring: Everyone be allowed out of their cells at least four hours a day, or that, When a person needs to be kept in a cell for more than 20 hours a day, that can only last 10 days in any 180-day period. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/9c1c60800a74920e65398b3f476974ca
