A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO DIRECT THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION TO DEVELOP PLANS FOR A PILOT PROGRAM FOR THE OPERATION OF A PRISON WORK CAMP BY A COUNTY OR COALITION OF COUNTIES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The Department of Correction shall develop plans for a pilot program in which the Department enters a partnership with a county or coalition of counties for the operation of a 340-bed work camp located at a site to be agreed upon by the Department of Correction and the county or coalition of counties.  The county or coalition of counties shall agree to operate the work camp in exchange for authorization to use the minimum security inmates housed at the camp for work at public facilities and for any other suitable productive labor at sites within the county or coalition of counties entering the agreement.
The plan shall provide for making space available in the work camp in such a manner that judges passing sentence in the General Court of Justice within the county or counties participating in the pilot program may assign defendants to the prison work camp.
Sec. 2.  The Department of Correction shall report on the plan developed pursuant to Section 1 of this act to the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations by June 1, 1994.
Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.
