§ 199 — Establishment of inmate employment list

* § 199. Establishment of inmate employment list. 1. The department of\ncorrectional services shall maintain a list of inmates who are eligible\nfor consideration for release on parole or otherwise within twelve\nmonths. Such list shall be amended every other month in order to add\nnewly eligible inmates and to remove from the list inmates who have been\ndischarged from the custody of the department. Inmates shall be included\nin such list only upon their own written request. The list shall be\nknown as the "inmate-employment list" and it shall contain the names of\ninmates, their home towns, the vocational and educational training\nprograms completed by the inmates while incarcerated, jobs held by the\ninmates while incarcerated, the institution at which the inmate is\nlodged, and other information the department feels would be useful to\nprospective employers of such inmates upon their release. Such list\nshall be provided, upon written request, to approved prospective\nemployers who have first submitted information required by the\ndepartment. The department shall permit approved prospective employers\nto visit facilities operated by the department in order to interview\ninmates whose names appear on the employment lists for the purpose of\npossible employment upon the inmate's release. Approved prospective\nemployers wishing to interview inmates must notify the department in\nwriting. If the department is unable to permit job interviews on the\ndate requested by the approved prospective employer, it shall provide an\nalternative date.\n 2. For the purposes of this section only the term "approved\nprospective employers" shall mean those individuals or corporations who\nhave stated an interest in employing former inmates and have supplied\nthe information requested by the department, which shall be reviewed by\nthe commissioner of correctional services prior to designating them as\napproved prospective employers.\n * NB Expired June 1, 1980\n
