Inmates participating in the work time credit program may, pursuant to applicable policies or procedures, spend a portion of a twenty-four (24) hour period away from the corrections facility and under limited supervision while performing work on a voluntary basis for the city or a qualifying community service agency. The inmate shall spend the nonworking hours at the corrections facility. Inmates performing community service pursuant to the work time credit program shall receive community service credit towards the payment of their financial obligations to the court.
