64-9b-1.  Legislative findings.
(1) The Legislature finds that it is in the best interest of the state for the department to:
(a) develop job opportunities to further enhance the rehabilitation of inmates of the Utah state prison;
(b) establish and actively work toward the goal that all inmates shall be productively involved in a treatment, education, or work program, or a combination of these programs, as appropriate, except for inmates who the department determines have a physical or mental disability, or pose a danger to the public, so that they are unable to engage in these activities; and
(c) submit a comprehensive management plan outlining the department's plan to meet this goal to the Legislature on or before November 1 of each even-numbered year, and the plan shall include:
(i) a cost-effective analysis of current inmate education, treatment, and work programs; and
(ii) a study of the feasibility of expanding inmate work programs, particularly in regard to programs that:
(A) are not capital intensive;
(B) do not unfairly compete with existing Utah industry; and
(C) are designed to increase the motivation, develop the work capabilities, and foster the cooperation of inmates.
(2) The Legislature further finds that a proper means to accomplish this is through a liberal application of this chapter.
