2021 Colorado Code|Title 17 - Corrections|Article 24 - Correctional Industries|§ 17-24-124. Inmate Disaster Relief Program - Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly finds that inmates housed in certain prison facilities throughout the state form a labor pool that could be safely utilized to fight forest fires, help with flood relief, and assist in the prevention of or clean up after other natural or man-made disasters.    As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires, “disaster” means the occurrence or imminent threat of widespread or severe damage, injury, or loss of life or property resulting from any natural cause or cause of human origin, but “disaster” does not include any hazardous substance incident, oil spill or other contamination, epidemic, air pollution, blight, drought, infestation, explosion, civil disturbance, or hostile military or paramilitary action.    There is hereby established in the division the inmate disaster relief program, referred to in this section as the “program”. The purpose of the program shall be to establish one or more inmate disaster relief crews composed of inmates from minimum restrictive, or minimum security facilities. An inmate shall receive an additional amount of earned time pursuant to section 17-22.5-405 in the amount of one day of earned time for every day spent at the site of a disaster. An inmate disaster relief crew may be utilized by the state or by local or federal governmental agencies that apply to the division for assistance.    The executive director shall promulgate rules governing the program including but not limited to:   The inmates who are eligible to participate in the program;    Types of disasters to which an inmate disaster relief crew may be sent;    The security measures that are required to prevent escapes and protect the public;    The procedures that must be followed before an inmate disaster relief crew may be utilized;    The fees that may be charged by the division for the provision of services by an inmate disaster relief crew; and    The compensation that may be paid to inmates participating in the program.       The division is authorized to purchase equipment and obtain necessary training for any inmate disaster relief crews.    The department is authorized to solicit, accept, and expend grants, donations, gifts, and other moneys to defer the costs of equipping and training one or more inmate disaster relief crews. The program shall not be implemented or made available to other agencies until sufficient moneys are available from appropriations, grants, donations, gifts, and other moneys to cover the costs of equipping and training at least one inmate disaster relief crew.    The department shall distribute the informational materials described in section 24-33.5-1226.5 to persons who have experience in wildland fire services pursuant to the program.     History.

  There is hereby created in the state treasury a special revolving enterprise account to be known as the canteen, vending machine, and library account. The account shall be used by the division to establish and operate a canteen for the use and benefit of the inmates of state correctional facilities and to operate vending machines for the use of visitors to state correctional facilities. The moneys in the account shall be continuously available to the division and are appropriated for the purposes set forth in subsection (3) of this section.    The canteen and vending machines shall be managed by the division, and they shall not be operated in any manner for the personal profit of any employees of the division or any inmates of state correctional facilities.    Items in the canteen shall be sold to inmates, and items in vending machines shall be sold to visitors, at prices set so that revenues from the sale are sufficient to fund all expenses of the canteen and vending machines, including the cost of services of employees of the canteen and the cost of servicing the vending machines, and to produce a reasonable profit. All revenues derived from the canteen and vending machines and interest derived from the deposit and investment of moneys in the canteen, vending machine, and library account shall be credited to such account. Any profits arising from the operation of the canteen and vending machines shall be expended for the educational, recreational, and social benefit of the inmates and to supplement direct inmate needs.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 17 - Corrections|Article 27 - Community Corrections Programs|§ 17-27-101. Legislative Declaration

 The general assembly hereby declares that it is the purpose of this article to establish and maintain community corrections programs which provide the courts, the department of corrections, and the state board of parole with more flexibility and a broader range of correctional options for offenders under the jurisdiction of such entities. It is the further purpose of this article to increase public safety and promote community-based correctional programming through collaboration between the state of Colorado and local units of government. It is also the purpose of this article to give local units of government the authority to designate the programs, boards, and networks established under this article to address local criminal justice needs with resources other than those appropriated pursuant to this article.

ANNOTATION   Broader range of alternatives provided. By enacting the community corrections statute, the general assembly provided the sentencing judge with a broader range of alternatives and with a sentencing medium that is more severe than probation, but not as harsh as incarceration.
