2006 New York Code - Absence Of Inmate For Funeral And Deathbed Visits Or To Report At An Induction Center For Preinduction Examination Authorized.

 
    §  113. Absence of inmate for funeral and deathbed visits or to report
  at an induction center for preinduction  examination  authorized.    The
  commissioner  of correctional services may permit any inmate confined by
  the department except one awaiting the sentence of death to  attend  the
  funeral  of  his  or  her  father,  mother, guardian or former guardian,
  child,  brother,  sister,  husband,   wife,   grandparent,   grandchild,
  ancestral  uncle  or  ancestral  aunt within the state, or to visit such
  individual during his or her illness if death be imminent or  to  report
  to  an  induction  center for the purpose of being examined for possible
  induction into the armed forces of the United States; but  the  exercise
  of  such  power  shall  be  subject to such rules and regulations as the
  commissioner of correctional services shall  prescribe,  respecting  the
  granting  of  such permission, duration of absence from the institution,
  custody, transportation and care of the  inmate,  and  guarding  against
  escape.  Any expense incurred under the provisions of this section, with
  respect to any inmate permitted to attend a funeral or visit a  relative
  during  last  illness,  shall be deemed an expense of maintenance of the
  institution  and  be  paid  from  moneys  available  therefor;  but  the
  superintendent,  if  the  rules  and  regulations of the commissioner of
  correctional services shall so provide, may allow the inmate  or  anyone
  in  his  behalf  to reimburse the state for such expense. Any expense of
  custodial officers incurred in delivering and returning inmates  to  and
  from  an  induction center shall be deemed an expense of the institution
  and be paid from moneys available therefor but expenses of such  inmates
  shall not be defrayed by the institution or department or the state.
