Section 455.06 - General Policy

Universal Citation: 103 MA Code of Regs 103.455

Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

The Industries Division operates as a part of the Department of Correction. The primary mission of Industries, as with the Department of Correction, is the safety of the public. Institutional security is the primary objective within which all industries activities and programs are carried out. While profitability and the creation of inmate employment are goals of the program, they must never be allowed to supersede security as the primary objective.

The Department of Correction will, within the framework of security, attempt to create industries programs which include, but are not limited to the following:

(1) A maximization of inmate work opportunities within our institutions consistent with cost efficiency and security;

(2) A work environment which mirrors that found in comparable outside industry;

(3) Use of current technology wherever possible;

(4) High standards of production as measured by quantity and quality;

(5) Opportunities for a wide range of skill development;

(6) Linkage between job performance and rewards for participants;

(7) Development of programs which are self-sustaining and economical for the taxpayer.
