     242.44 Pupils. 

    The commissioner of corrections, so far as the 
 accommodations of the correctional facilities and other means at 
 the commissioner's disposal will permit, may receive juvenile 
 delinquents and juvenile offenders serving a juvenile 
 disposition under section 260B.130, subdivision 4.  The 
 commissioner's housing of these individuals must be consistent 
 with federal and state law, including established admissions 
 criteria for Minnesota Correctional Facility-Red Wing.  The 
 commissioner may place these youths at employment, may provide 
 education suitable to their years and capacity, and may place 
 them in suitable homes.  Under rules prescribed by the 
 commissioner, when deemed best for these youths, persons 
 committed to the commissioner's care and custody by a juvenile 
 court may be paroled or discharged from the facility by the 
 commissioner.  All pupils in the facility shall be clothed, 
 instructed, and maintained by the commissioner of corrections.
