22 AAC 05.350. Restitution centers

(a) A prisoner eligible under 22 AAC 05.352 may be designated or classified to a restitution center in accordance with 22 AAC 05.206 - 22 AAC 05.216 to participate in restitution, work, and community service programs.

(2) comply with state and local fire and life safety laws;

(3) enforce disciplinary rules and sanctions in accordance with 22 AAC 05.400 - 22 AAC 05.480 unless other disciplinary provisions are approved by the commissioner as applicable to prisoners in a restitution center;

(4) implement procedures, with the approval of the commissioner, for granting a prisoner an emergency absence consistent with the provisions of 22 AAC 05.271;

(5) adopt and implement procedures that require mandatory employment and participation in community service programs by prisoner residents throughout their entire stay at the center; and

(6) provide a performance and progress review to the regional director for each center resident at least once per month.
