§ 3046. Workers' Compensation for Inmates.
Currentness
Inmates are eligible for workers' compensation benefits for injuries sustained while performing assigned work while imprisoned. They are not eligible for benefits for injuries resulting from an assault in which the inmate was found to be the aggressor; an intentional act of self-inflicted injury; nor injuries sustained while assigned to academic and Career Technical Education programs. The department is not liable for injuries sustained while a person is on parole or escape status.
(a) Inmates should immediately report any injury to their supervisor so that prompt medical attention can be given if needed, and for the supervisor's information and initiation of necessary reports.
(b) Inmates will have access to, and be given a copy upon request, of the department's guidelines covering workers' compensation for inmates. Such guidelines will be available at each institution's inmate assignment office or the office of the official responsible for inmate assignments; the inmate law libraries; each camp; and at or near the inmate's work location through the inmate's work supervisor.
