Section 199. Establishment of inmate employment list

1. The department of
  correctional  services shall maintain a list of inmates who are eligible
  for consideration for release  on  parole  or  otherwise  within  twelve
  months.  Such  list  shall  be amended every other month in order to add
  newly eligible inmates and to remove from the list inmates who have been
  discharged from the custody of the department. Inmates shall be included
  in such list only upon their own written  request.  The  list  shall  be
  known  as the "inmate-employment list" and it shall contain the names of
  inmates, their home  towns,  the  vocational  and  educational  training
  programs  completed  by the inmates while incarcerated, jobs held by the
  inmates while incarcerated, the  institution  at  which  the  inmate  is
  lodged,  and  other  information the department feels would be useful to
  prospective employers of such inmates  upon  their  release.  Such  list
  shall  be  provided,  upon  written  request,  to  approved  prospective
  employers  who  have  first  submitted  information  required   by   the
  department.  The  department shall permit approved prospective employers
  to visit facilities operated by the department  in  order  to  interview
  inmates  whose  names  appear on the employment lists for the purpose of
  possible employment upon  the  inmate's  release.  Approved  prospective
  employers  wishing  to  interview  inmates must notify the department in
  writing. If the department is unable to permit  job  interviews  on  the
  date requested by the approved prospective employer, it shall provide an
  alternative date.
    2.   For  the  purposes  of  this  section  only  the  term  "approved
  prospective employers" shall mean those individuals or corporations  who
  have  stated  an  interest in employing former inmates and have supplied
  the information requested by the department, which shall be reviewed  by
  the  commissioner  of correctional services prior to designating them as
  approved prospective employers.
