Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

The Department of Corrections shall promulgate administrative regulations it deems necessary and proper in relation to:

(1) The classification of prisoners;

(2) The terms and conditions under which prisoners may be assigned to work under the direction of any other state agency;

(3) The adequate care, supervision, guarding, discipline, maintenance, transportation, and housing of prisoners when assigned to work outside of the prison. The department shall ascertain from the jailer of the county in which the work is being carried on if accommodations are available, and shall place as many prisoners as possible under the care of the jailer;

(4) The payment of money to prisoners and their dependents for work performed, including the amount to be paid and the manner of the payment and distribution thereof;

(5) Any other purposes as the department deems necessary and proper for carrying out the intent of this chapter.
