Section 854*2. Conduct of inmates participating in work release program

1.
  An inmate who is permitted to leave the premises of  an  institution  to
  participate in a program of work release shall have on his person a copy
  of  the  memorandum  of  that  program  as  signed  by the warden of the
  institution at all times while outside the premises of  the  institution
  and  shall  exhibit  such  copy to any peace officer upon request of the
  officer.
    2. If the inmate violates any provision of the program, or any rule or
  regulation promulgated by the commissioner of correction for conduct  of
  inmates  participating  in work release programs, he shall be subject to
  disciplinary measures to the same extent as if he  violated  a  rule  or
  regulation  of  the  commissioner  for  conduct  of  inmates  within the
  premises of the institution.
    3. The provisions of this chapter relating to good behavior allowances
  shall apply to behavior of inmates while participating in  work  release
  programs  outside  the premises of institutions, and such allowances may
  be granted, withheld, forfeited or cancelled in whole  or  in  part  for
  behavior  outside  the premises of an institution to the same extent and
  in the same manner as is provided for behavior  of  inmates  within  the
  premises of institutions.
    4. An inmate who is in violation of the provisions of his work release
  program  may  be  taken  into  custody by any peace officer and, in such
  event, the inmate shall be returned forthwith to  the  institution  that
  released  him.  In  any  case where the institution is in a county other
  than the one in which the inmate is apprehended, the officer may deliver
  the inmate to the nearest institution, jail or lockup and  it  shall  be
  the  duty  of  the person in charge of said facility to hold such inmate
  securely until such time as he is delivered into custody of  an  officer
  of  the  institution  from  which  he  was released. Upon delivering the
  inmate to an institution, jail or lockup, other than the one from  which
  he  was  released,  the  peace  officer who apprehended the inmate shall
  forthwith notify the warden of the institution from which the inmate was
  released and  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  warden  to  effect  the
  expeditious return of the inmate to the institution.
