64-9b-1.Legislative findings.
(1) The Legislature finds that it is in the best interest of the state of Utah for the
department to:
(a) develop job opportunities to further enhance the rehabilitation of inmates of the Utah
state prison;
(b) establish and actively work toward the goal that all inmates shall be productively
involved in a treatment, education, or work program, or a combination of these programs, as
appropriate, except for inmates who the department determines are physically or mentally
disabled, or pose a danger to the public, so that they are unable to engage in these activities; and
(c) submit a comprehensive management plan outlining the department's plan to meet this
goal to the Legislature on or before November 1 of each even-numbered year, and the plan shall
include:
(i) a cost-effective analysis of current inmate education, treatment, and work programs;
and
(ii) a study of the feasibility of expanding inmate work programs, particularly in regard to
programs that:
(A) are not capital intensive;
(B) do not unfairly compete with existing Utah industry; and
(C) are designed to increase the motivation, develop the work capabilities, and foster the
cooperation of inmates.
(2) The Legislature further finds that a proper means to accomplish this is through a
liberal application of this act.
