  The general assembly hereby finds and declares that illiteracy is a problem in today's society and a particular problem among persons in correctional facilities.    The general assembly further finds and declares that:   Illiteracy and cognitive and vocational deficiencies among persons in the custody of the department contribute to their inability to successfully reintegrate into society upon their release from custody and the likelihood of their return to criminal activity; and    Research demonstrates a clear relationship between employment of such persons and a reduction in their recidivism.       It is therefore the intent of the general assembly in enacting this article to:   Develop and implement a comprehensive competency-based educational and vocational program to combat illiteracy and develop marketable employment skills among persons in correctional facilities so they can become productive members of society when they are reintegrated into society; and    Ensure that state funding is provided to educational and vocational programs that meet performance objectives, provide market-relevant training, and are proven to increase the likelihood that persons who are released from a correctional facility will successfully reintegrate into society.

  As soon as possible after July 1, 1974, each offender entering the diagnostic center shall receive appropriate diagnostic services, and each offender's treatment and employment needs shall be identified. Information provided pursuant to section 17-40-104 shall be considered in structuring the rehabilitation program. An offender shall be assigned to the assessment program for a period not to exceed sixty days; except that an offender may be held for an additional thirty days upon approval of the executive director. Upon completion of the recommended rehabilitation report, it shall be transmitted by the superintendent to the executive director, who, within fifteen days, shall cause the offender to be:   Assigned to a correctional institution or to a program established pursuant to article 27.7 of this title, unless otherwise prohibited by law, based upon the examination and study of the offender; or    Upon order of the court, returned to the court for the purpose of granting probation or other modification of sentence.
