2717.2
. The Director of Corrections shall establish joint venture
programs within state prison facilities to allow joint venture
employers to employ inmates confined in the state prison system for
the purpose of producing goods or services. While recognizing the
constraints of operating within the prison system, such programs will
be patterned after operations outside of prison so as to provide
inmates with the skills and work habits necessary to become
productive members of society upon their release from state prison.
