filed according to section 65-05-01. While an inmate is incarcerated at the penitentiary, the
penitentiary shall pay the reasonable medical expenses of that inmate at penitentiary medical

rehabilitation allowance, and permanent partial impairment benefits may not accrue or be paid
while the inmate is incarcerated and may only be paid after the inmate is discharged from the

organization determine that an inmate who suffers a compensable injury under this chapter is in
need of vocational rehabilitation services while the inmate is incarcerated, the penitentiary and
the organization may provide vocational rehabilitation services to the inmate. An injury resulting
from a fight, riot, recreational activity, or other activity or incident other than the inmate's actual
performance of work duties in a prison industries work program through roughrider industries is
not compensable under this title.
