This manual presents guidelines for the conduct of participants in the South Carolina Community Services Branch programs, including work release and prerelease programs for offenders.
Abstract
The Community Services Branch will meet with all center superintendents and will monitor programs to ensure conformity with these guidelines. The manual addresses processing and participant orientation, job placement and employment guidelines, extended work release procedures, participant finances, restitution procedures, and employment transportation. Also discussed are such concerns as personal hygiene, personal property, violation of program rules and regulations, transfer procedures, recreational activities, and visitation. Guidelines are also provided regarding mandatory program reporting, community interaction, the 30-day prerelease program, medical and dental services, and furlough. Upon completion of processing by the Community Services Branch, approved applicants will be assigned to the work release centers selected by participants, usually within the individual's geographic home area. The Community Program supervisors will be responsible for employment development and placement, and assisting in other needs for all work/educational program participants, 30-day participants, releasees, ex-offenders, parolees, and provisional parolees. Maps and a tracking chart are appended.
