§ 199. 199Establishment of inmate employment list
* § 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. * NB Expired June 1, 1980
