The general assembly finds and declares that the people of this state benefit from an inmate rehabilitation and work program that promotes that person's successful rehabilitation, reentry, and reintegration into the community; that the executive director has custody over inmates who could benefit from such a program; that such a program provides work skills and instills a work ethic in inmates, thereby facilitating their readjustment to society. To these ends, it is the purpose of this article 29 to create within the department internal and external rehabilitation and work programs for inmates sentenced to the department. The executive director or the executive director's designee may appoint facility wardens, responsible for the administration of correctional facilities, to perform the duties and functions set forth in this article 29.
