SECTION 199
Establishment of inmate employment list
Correction (COR) CHAPTER 43, ARTICLE 7
* § 199. Establishment of inmate employment list. 1. The department of
correctional services shall maintain a list of inmates who are eligible
for consideration for release on parole or otherwise within twelve
months. Such list shall be amended every other month in order to add
newly eligible inmates and to remove from the list inmates who have been
discharged from the custody of the department. Inmates shall be included
in such list only upon their own written request. The list shall be
known as the "inmate-employment list" and it shall contain the names of
inmates, their home towns, the vocational and educational training
programs completed by the inmates while incarcerated, jobs held by the
inmates while incarcerated, the institution at which the inmate is
lodged, and other information the department feels would be useful to
prospective employers of such inmates upon their release. Such list
shall be provided, upon written request, to approved prospective
employers who have first submitted information required by the
department. The department shall permit approved prospective employers
to visit facilities operated by the department in order to interview
inmates whose names appear on the employment lists for the purpose of
possible employment upon the inmate's release. Approved prospective
employers wishing to interview inmates must notify the department in
writing. If the department is unable to permit job interviews on the
date requested by the approved prospective employer, it shall provide an
alternative date.

2. For the purposes of this section only the term "approved
prospective employers" shall mean those individuals or corporations who
have stated an interest in employing former inmates and have supplied
the information requested by the department, which shall be reviewed by
the commissioner of correctional services prior to designating them as
approved prospective employers.
