Abstract:
Work release allows state prisoners to seek employment in the community while completing their sentence. Lawmakers approved the first work release legislation in 1957 which limited the privilege to misdemeanors and criminals with no prior sentencing. General Assemblies of 1959 and 1963 amended the 1957 version of the law to make it more accessible and participation in the program showed great increases in 1966.
