Which classification must an inmate have to participate in the Work Furlough Program?

To participate in the Work Furlough Program, inmates must be classified as either medium or minimum security. This classification is essential because the Work Furlough Program is designed to reintegrate inmates into society by allowing them to gain work experience and facilitate their transition upon release.

Inmates in medium or minimum security are typically assessed as presenting a lower risk to public safety and are more suitable for opportunities that involve temporary release from custody for employment purposes. This aligns with the program's aim to support inmates' rehabilitation and reduce recidivism by helping them secure employment and develop skills necessary for successful reintegration.

Higher classifications such as maximum security may not align with the program's goals, as those inmates are generally considered more dangerous and thus not eligible for work furloughs due to the associated risks. Therefore, a classification of medium or minimum security is required for participation in this program, making the correct response the one focused on these classifications.
