The Minister may authorise work programmes, published in the Gazette, under which: Inmates may engage in work within the correctional centre under staff supervision; or
Inmates may be assigned to work with approved companies or organisations outside the institution, under terms relating to their employment, discipline, and control.
Employment categories include:
Inmates generally work no more than eight hours per day and are not permitted to work for private individuals or assume roles with disciplinary authority.
When inmates are gainfully employed through supervised programmes employers must remit total earning, less any deduction required by law, to the Superintendent.
These earnings are then applied or distributed as prescribed.
Inmates receive wages at approved rates, with payments managed according to established regulations.
