1998 Florida Statutes

946.007  Correctional work program objectives.--In adopting or modifying master plans for correctional work programs, and in the administration of the Department of Corrections, it shall be the objective of the department to develop:

(1)  Attitudes favorable to work, the work situation, and a law-abiding life in each inmate employed in the correctional work program.

(2)  Training opportunities that are reasonably broad, but which develop specific work skills.

(3)  Programs that motivate inmates to use their abilities. Inmates who do not adjust to these programs shall be reassigned.

(4)  Training programs which will be of mutual benefit to all governmental jurisdictions of the state by reducing the costs of government to the taxpayers and which integrate all instructional programs into a unified curriculum suitable for all inmates, but taking account of the different abilities of each inmate.

(5)  A logical sequence of vocational training, employment by the correctional work programs, and postrelease job placement for inmates participating in correctional work programs.
