Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024

It is the goal of the Department to administer its facilities and design programs to provide protection to society through the control and rehabilitation of offenders. In furtherance of that objective and the authority granted to the Department by the act of July 16, 1968 (P. L. 351, No. 173) (61 P. S. §§ 1051-1054), prerelease programs have been established. These programs are designed to provide opportunities for qualified inmates to have access to community resources, to demonstrate self-control and individual responsibility and to begin reintegration into the community. Criteria for participation in prerelease programs are designed to insure that the inmates who are selected to participate are those who will present the least risk to the community, and benefit most from the program, and to offer the opportunities to as many inmates as possible.

The provisions of this §94.1 amended under section 506 of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 186).
