  facility  shall  have  a  superintendent  who  shall be appointed by the
  commissioner.   Each   such   superintendent    shall    be    in    the
  non-competitive-confidential class but shall be appointed from employees
  of  the  department  who  have  at  least  three  years of experience in
  correctional work in the department and (i) who have a  permanent  civil
  service appointment of salary grade twenty-seven or higher or who have a
  salary  equivalent  to  a  salary  grade  of  twenty-seven or higher for
  correctional facilities with  an  inmate  population  capacity  of  four
  hundred  or  more  inmates,  or  (ii) who have a permanent civil service
  appointment of salary grade twenty-three or higher or who have a  salary
  equivalent  to a salary grade of twenty-three or higher for correctional
  facilities with an inmate population capacity of fewer than four hundred
  inmates; provided that for correctional facilities of  either  capacity,
  the  employee  shall  be appointed superintendent at the hiring rate set
  forth in section nineteen of this article or such other rate as  may  be
  appropriate,  subject  to  the  approval  of the director of the budget;
  provided that in no event shall the salary upon appointment  exceed  the
  job  rate.  Such  superintendents  shall  serve  at  the pleasure of the
  commissioner  and  shall  have  such  other  qualifications  as  may  be
  prescribed  by  the commissioner, based on differences in duties, levels
  of responsibility, size and  character  of  the  correctional  facility,
  knowledge,  skills  and  abilities required, and other factors affecting
  the position.
    2. Subject to the rules and statutory powers of the  commissioner,  or
  rules  approved  by  him  or  her,  the superintendent of a correctional
  facility shall have the supervision and management thereof.
    3. Subject to the direction of the commissioner, and of the deputy and
  assistant commissioners in their respective fields of  supervision,  the
  superintendent  of  a  correctional  facility  shall direct the work and
  define the duties of all officers and subordinates of the facility.
