004.03.1-1200. Work/Study Release Program
The Board of Correction is vested with the authority to promulgate this Administrative Rule by Act 50 of 1968, First Extraordinary Session, as amended.
This Administrative Rule establishes the policy by which the Arkansas Department of Correction institutes the Work/Study Release Program.
This Administrative Rule applies to all employees and inmates within the Department of Correction.
To allow the orderly reintegration of selected inmates from a prison environment back into communities through participation in a Community or Unit/Center Work/Study Release Program. Only inmates who meet the eligibility criteria for Work/Study Release may be considered for placement in a Work/Study Release Program.
The Department has been authorized to establish Work/Study Release Programs pursuant to Arkansas Codes 12-30-401, 403, 405-408. In accordance with the Legislative mandate, the following procedures have been established for the selection of eligible inmates to be assigned to the Program.
1. Persons convicted of a capital offense, first degree murder, rape, kidnapping, or who have been convicted for a second or subsequent offense of aggravated robbery, or who are serving a life sentence, or who are under sentence to be executed, are not eligible to participate in this program. (Act 399 of 1979).
3. An inmate should have had no major disciplinary infractions for a period of not less than three months immediately prior to application. The Warden/Center Supervisor, however, may approve an inmate for selection and possible transfer to the Work/Study Release Program where he/she deems it particularly appropriate. In such a case, the ninety days minimum requirement may be waived, and written approval of the appropriate Assistant /Deputy Director must be obtained before an inmate may be transferred to a Work/Study Release Program.
4. An eligible inmate must exhibit a current medical classification commensurate with expected work assignment. This classification will be reviewed by the transferring unit/center medical authority prior to final approval for Work/Study Release eligibility. The Warden/Center Supervisor shall ensure that the medical authority is made knowledgeable of the type of work program the inmate is to participate in for any applicable medical related considerations. No inmate will be allowed to participate in a Work/Study Release Program if such participation requires physical capabilities beyond that which could have been routinely assigned at a unit/center.
1. Eligible inmates are to submit a “Work/Study Release Application” form to the Classification Officer and/or Work Release Warden/Center Supervisor (see Attachment I). If the applicant meets the criteria for eligibility, the Classification Officer will consider the application and forward its recommendation to the Warden/Center Supervisor. The decision of the Classification Committee must be unanimous before a favorable recommendation is forwarded to the Warden/Center Supervisor.
1. If a Work/Study Release inmate is terminated from his employment through no fault of his/her own, officials of the Work/Study Release Program will immediately assign the inmate to an institutional job. During this period of reassignment, which shall be no longer than fifteen consecutive days (excluding holidays), every effort will be made by the Department of Correction and the inmate to regain employment. If, at the end of this fifteen days reassignment period, employment has not been found, the supervisor of the Work/Study Release Program may administratively transfer this individual to an existing job assignment at the unit/center or transfer him/her back to the parent unit/center.
7. If the inmate has persons dependent upon him/her for support, the inmate shall be required to remit to such persons a minimum of one-third of his/her net income or that amount which may be required by court order. Net income is defined as income after taxes and ADC rent. If the inmate does not have any dependents, the one-third should go into a savings account.
Inmates in need of legal services may contact the Inmate Attorney assigned to the unit/center or may obtain legal services through those monies earned on Work/Study Release. The inmate may be transferred to a unit/center where a complete law library is available.
