Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Inmates are eligible for workers' compensation benefits for
					 injuries sustained while performing assigned work while imprisoned. They are not
					 eligible for benefits for injuries resulting from an assault in which the inmate was
					 found to be the aggressor; an intentional act of self-inflicted injury; nor injuries
					 sustained while assigned to academic and Career Technical Education programs. The
					 department is not liable for injuries sustained while a person is on parole or
					 escape status.
(a) Inmates should
				  immediately report any injury to their supervisor so that prompt medical attention
				  can be given if needed, and for the supervisor's information and initiation of
				  necessary reports.
(b) Inmates will have
				  access to, and be given a copy upon request, of the department's guidelines covering
				  workers' compensation for inmates. Such guidelines will be available at each
				  institution's inmate assignment office or the office of the official responsible for
				  inmate assignments; the inmate law libraries; each camp; and at or near the inmate's
				  work location through the inmate's work supervisor.
