all necessary actions, including immediate reimprisonment,
without involving the prosecutor or the courts.

FURLOUGH GUIDELINES
A. Passes and Identification
1. Every inmate on furlough must carry a furlough
pass. The pass authorizes the inmate’s absence
from the correctional facility for a specific
period. A replica of the furlough pass is
attached.
2. Each furloughee is also required to carry a
Corrections Division identification card bearing
his or her photograph. The identification card
and/or pass will indicate the facility from which
the inmate was furloughed.
3. A furloughee is required to produce both the pass
and the identification card for police officers
upon request. If the inmate refuses to produce
both documents, verification of the inmate’s
furlough can be obtained by telephone from the
Corrections Division or the facility from which the
inmate claims to be on furlough. A copy of the
current list of furloughees is also maintained by
the Identification Section of the Records and
Identification Division.
B. Curfew
Each furloughee is subject to curfew while in the
community. Curfew is normally 2300 hours, but
extensions of the curfew hour may be granted by the
facility staff. Verification of an extension can be
obtained by telephone from the appropriate facility or
the Corrections Division.
C. Operation of Automobiles
Furloughees may be authorized the use of motor vehicles
if the inmate and the vehicle are properly licensed and
insured.
D. Inmate Conduct
Attachment
The furloughs are used by inmates to improve
themselves and demonstrate their ability to live
successfully in the community. Each inmate on
furlough is strictly responsible for his or her
conduct and behavior and is expected to conduct
himself or herself in a responsible and law-abiding
manner at all times.
Officers are to avoid unnecessarily detaining or
questioning furloughees if no suspicious or illegal
activity is involved.
