A. In general. A qualifying inmate sentenced to a period of confinement at the corrections facility may, at the discretion of corrections staff and subject to applicable policies and procedures, serve all or a portion of his or her ordered confinement on a work crew program. Inmates participating in the work crew program may, pursuant to applicable policies or procedures, spend a portion of a twenty-four (24) hour period performing work under the supervision of the corrections facility at on-site or off-site locations. The inmate shall spend the nonworking hours at the corrections facility or under limited or no supervision at another location as permitted by corrections facility policy.

1. Garbage, litter, debris, and junk removal from municipal, state, and federal property, including but not limited to roadways, roadway easements, sidewalks, trails, open space, wetlands, shorelines, waterways, steep slopes, parks, and public facilities.

D. Performance of work for private parties or nonprofit agencies. The work crew may perform work that more than incidentally benefits private parties or nonprofit agencies on the condition that the private party or nonprofit agency reimburses the city of Aberdeen for the costs of providing the work crew and the private party or nonprofit agency assumes all responsibility for supervision of the work crew and all risk and liability exposure of having the work crew perform the work. Reimbursement may be waived at the discretion of the corrections staff when the work performed primarily benefits the poor and infirm.

E. Performance of bargaining unit work. The city of Aberdeen will not utilize a work crew to perform work that is customarily performed by members of a bargaining unit represented by a city of Aberdeen employee union, without the prior agreement of the union.
