2005 Idaho Code - 20-242 — FURLOUGH

                                  TITLE  20
                        STATE PRISON AND COUNTY JAILS
                                  CHAPTER 2
                          STATE BOARD OF CORRECTIONS
    20-242.  FURLOUGH. 1. When a person is committed to the custody of the
state board of correction, the board may, upon conditions which it may impose,
direct that the person be permitted to continue in his regular employment,
work project, or educational program, if that is compatible with the
requirements of subsection 3 of this section, or may authorize the person to
secure employment for himself.
    2.  If the board directs that the prisoner be permitted to continue in his
regular employment or education, the board shall arrange for a continuation of
the employment or education so far as possible without interruption. If the
prisoner does not have regular employment, and the board has authorized the
prisoner to secure employment for himself, the prisoner may do so, and the
board may assist him in doing so.
    3.  Whenever the prisoner is not employed and between the hours or periods
of employment, work project, or schooling, he shall be domiciled in a jail,
facility, or residence as directed by the board of correction.
    4.  The earnings of the prisoner shall be retained by the prisoner under
such terms and conditions as the board may impose. From such earnings the
board may require that:
    a.  the prisoner pay an amount to the board of correction sufficient for
    the prisoner's board and personal expenses, both inside and outside the
    jail, facility, or residence, including costs of administering such
    prisoner's work furlough program;
    b.  the prisoner provide for the reasonable and adequate support and
    maintenance of the prisoner's dependents;
    c.  the prisoner pay preexisting debts;
    d.  the prisoner deposit earnings in a financial institution.
    5.  If the prisoner violates the conditions established for his conduct,
custody or employment, the board may order the balance of the prisoner's
sentence to be spent in actual confinement.
    6.  The wilful failure of a prisoner to return to the place of confinement
not later than the expiration of any period during which he is authorized to
be away from the place of confinement under this section is an escape from the
place of confinement and is punishable as provided by section 18-2505, Idaho
Code.
    7.  A furlough may be revoked by the board at any time without notice or
hearing.
