The inmate must have a perfect conduct record, has shown aptitude on programming and effort towards successful reentry. The counselors select the inmates for work release. We would suggest any inmate wanting to get these type details need to interact with the staff and counselors on a regular basis. If they are constantly observing an inmate with a civilized approach in their daily course of living, the more likely they are to being chosen for the work detail that happens

He could have been paroled to a halfway house. Finding him is not going to be easy. We would recommend calling the facility again and asking for a little more information, a phone number or a mailing address of the halfway house.

There is no set timetable for transferring inmates. It is all done behind the scenes and then one day, they've moved. Inmate movement is kept very quiet for security reasons.
