*State law reference-Work release program, Ann. Code of Md., art. 27, § 700A.
Sec. 13-11. Established.
      The Department of Correction and Rehabilitation must operate a work release/pre-release program as authorized by Section 11-717 of the Correctional Services Article of the Maryland Code. In this program, an inmate detained or sentenced to the Department of Correction and Rehabilitation, Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, or Federal Bureau of Prisons may be allowed to leave the Pre-Release Center as approved by the Program Administrator to seek or work at gainful employment or attend a training program. The inmate may also participate in other rehabilitation activities, including:
   (a)   intensive counseling;
   (b)   academic education;
   (c)    home visitation;
   (d)   transitional phased release, including non-residential services; and
   (e)   maximum use of other community resources or other similar rehabilitative activities as approved by the Program Administrator.
   Whenever the inmate is not employed or otherwise participating in the Program, the inmate must be confined in the Pre-Release Center. However, an inmate who participates in non-residential transitional phased release must live in a private dwelling approved by the Program Administrator, under the supervision of Division staff, and must be monitored electronically.
(1976 L.M.C., ch. 24, § 1; 1980 L.M.C., ch. 6, § 2; 2006 L.M.C., ch. 31, § 1.)
Sec. 13-12. Purpose.
   The purpose of the Program is to increase community safety and reduce crime by providing inmates with an opportunity to:
   (a)   participate in employment, education, or training;
   (b)   contribute to family support;
   (c)   accumulate savings for use upon release, making restitution, or payment of legitimate debts;
   (d)   participate in the Program's counseling services, social awareness, and educational programs;
   (e)   participate in other community services and activities, such as:
      (i)   a specialized alcohol treatment service;
      (ii)   a drug rehabilitation program;
      (iii)   private psychotherapy;
      (iv)   a community adult education program;
      (v)   a college course; and
      (vi)   a supervised community recreational event;
   (f)   acquire self-respect that flows from self-support and personal accomplishment;
   (g)   participate in a transitional phased release experience intended to lead to increased personal responsibility;
   (h)   provide federal and state officials with information to assist in determining the inmate’s suitability for parole;
   (i)   obtain suitable housing before release; and
   (j)   become a contributing member of society. (1976 L.M.C., ch. 24, § 1; 2006 L.M.C., ch. 31, § 1.)

   (g)   If an inmate’s proposed employment involves handling any alcoholic beverage, drug, narcotic, firearm, ammunition, or explosive, the Program Administrator may exclude the inmate from participating in the Program if the Program Administrator decides that the employment is likely to jeopardize the inmate's safety or the safety of others.
   (h)   Division staff must evaluate and screen an inmate based on the criteria identified in Section 13-15. Information obtained during the screening process is confidential. (1976 L.M.C., ch. 24, § 1; 1980 L.M.C., ch. 6, § 4; 2006 L.M.C., ch. 31, § 1.)
