(1) The director, in collaboration with the department, shall determine inmate work assignments within the division. Each inmate work assignment must take into account the diagnostic services unit recommendation of employment training needs of the inmate, the security classification of the inmate as determined by the superintendent of each correctional institution, and the rehabilitation, reentry, and reintegration needs of the inmate.
(2) The director shall establish the compensation rate for the inmates working in internal programs. Payment rates must be established on an annual basis after review by the joint budget committee and by appropriation of the general assembly. The director shall not compensate an inmate if the inmate refuses to participate in an available rehabilitation and work program.
(3) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2022.)
(4) The division has the power to establish rules governing the employment, conduct, and management of inmates while assigned to internal programs. All such rules pertaining to the payment, employment, conduct, and management of inmates must be published and posted for inmates.
