113 - Absence of inmate for funeral and deathbed visits authorized.

 
    §  113.  Absence of inmate for funeral and deathbed visits authorized.
  The commissioner 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; but the exercise of such  power  shall  be
  subject  to  such  rules  and  regulations  as  the  commissioner  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 shall so provide, may allow the inmate
  or anyone in his behalf to reimburse the state for such expense.
