1. “[W]ork release, like the good time credits protected in Wolff , provides substantial benefits such as expanded freedom, earning capacity, training and preparation for community reentry that relate not only to the terms of confinement itself but to life outside the prison. Sandin , by contrast, focused on the day-to-day characteristics of life inside the prison.
