2021 Colorado Code|Title 17 - Corrections|Article 24 - Correctional Industries|§ 17-24-102. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that, to the extent possible, all able-bodied offenders should be employed and that the means now provided for the employment of offenders are inadequate to allow a forty-hour-week work assignment for all able-bodied offenders and for correctional industries programs to be operated on a financially profitable basis. Therefore, it is the intent of the general assembly in this article to:   Create a division of correctional industries which is profit-oriented, which generates revenue for its operations and capital investment, which partly reimburses the general fund for the expense of correctional services, and which assumes responsibility for training offenders in general work habits, work skills, and specific training skills that increase their employment prospects when released;    Develop, to the extent possible, industries that provide forty hours of work activity each week for all able-bodied offenders;    Provide an environment for the operation of correctional industries that closely resembles the environment for the business operations of a private corporate entity;    Make the division of correctional industries responsible for and accountable to the general assembly and to the governor for correctional industries programs in this state.       It is the intent of the general assembly that the division of correctional industries assume all duties and functions for correctional industries.     History.
