    |
0012|     restitution to a victim as provided in Section 31-17-1 NMSA
    |
0013|     1978, the board shall include restitution as a condition of

0023|     thirty days per month upon recommendation of the classification
    |
0024|     committee and approval of the warden; provided that an inmate
    |
0025|     who:

    |
0023|     periodic basis.
    |
0024|               B.  An inmate whose record of conduct shows that he
    |
0025|     has performed exceptionally meritorious service and whose
    |
0001|     record of conduct shows that he has otherwise faithfully
    |
0002|     observed the rules of the institution may be eligible for a
    |
0003|     lump sum good time award, not to exceed one year per award and
    |
0004|     not to exceed a total of one year for all lump sum good time
    |
0005|     awards awarded in any consecutive twelve-month period, which
    |
0006|     may be deducted from the length of the sentence then remaining
    |
0007|     unserved.  Exceptionally meritorious service shall include
    |
0008|     heroic acts of saving life or property, but shall not include
    |
0009|     acts in performance of normal work duties or program as-
    |
0010|     
    |
0011|     signments.  The classification committee and the warden may
    |
0012|     recommend the number of days to be awarded in each case based
    |
0013|     upon the particular merits, but any award shall be determined
    |
0014|     by the director of adult institutions.  Allowance for excep-
    |
0015|     
    |
0016|     tionally meritorious service shall be in addition to the
    |
0017|     meritorious deduction provided for in Subsection A of this sec-
    |
0018|     
    |
0019|     tion, and in the event two or more consecutive sentences are
    |
0020|     being served, the aggregate of the several sentences shall be
    |
0021|     the basis upon which the deduction shall be computed.
    |
0022|               C.  The meritorious deductions provided for in
    |
0023|     Subsections A and B of this section shall pertain to both the
    |
0024|     basic sentence to be served and any enhanced term of
    |
0025|     imprisonment pursuant to the provisions of the Criminal
    |
0001|     Sentencing Act.  For inmates convicted of crimes committed on
    |
0002|     or after the effective date of this 1988 act, meritorious
    |
0003|     deductions of up to ninety days per occurrence shall be
    |
0004|     permanently forfeited upon recommendation of the classification
    |
0005|     committee and approval of the warden if the inmate does not
    |
0006|     properly maintain the standard upon which the award was based. 
    |
0007|     For those inmates, permanent forfeitures in excess of ninety
    |
0008|     days may be made upon approval of the director of adult
    |
0009|     institutions.  For inmates convicted of crimes committed prior
    |
0010|     to the effective date of this 1988 act, meritorious deduc-
    |
0011|     
    |
0012|     tions may be terminated upon recommendation of the
    |
0013|     classification committee and approval of the warden if the
    |
0014|     inmate does not properly maintain the standard upon which the
    |
0015|     award was based; provided that no inmate shall forfeit more
    |
0016|     than fifty percent of his meritorious deductions accrued during
    |
0017|     the previous twelve months; and further provided that after
    |
0018|     forfeiture of any portion of an inmate's accrued meritorious
    |
0019|     deductions, the remainder shall vest and shall not be subject
    |
0020|     to further forfeiture.
    |
0021|               D.  The corrections department shall promulgate
    |
0022|     rules and regulations for the implementation and determination
    |
0023|     of meritorious deductions pursuant to this section, and the
    |
0024|     rules or regulations shall be matters of public record.  A
    |
0025|     concise summary of the rules and regulations shall be provided
    |
0001|     to every inmate, and every inmate shall receive a quarterly
    |
0002|     statement of his accrued meritorious deductions."

0003|          Section 8.  Section 33-2-44 NMSA 1978 (being Laws 1969,
    |
0004|     Chapter 166, Section 2, as amended) is amended to read:
    |
0005|          "33-2-44.  INMATE-RELEASE PROGRAM--STANDARDS FOR
    |
0006|     PARTICIPATION.--The [superintendent] warden may, under the

0007|     inmate-release program and at the request of a prisoner, extend
    |
0008|     the limits of confinement beyond the penitentiary of New
    |
0009|     Mexico by authorizing the prisoner to work at paid employment
    |
0010|     in private business or in public employment or to attend a
    |
0011|     school while continuing as a prisoner, if the prisoner:
    |
0012|               A.  is a trusty or a minimum-custody inmate;
    |
0013|               B.  has physical and mental ability to fully perform
    |
0014|     the proposed assignment consistent with his capacities and free

0015|     from any out-patient care that would interfere with full
    |
0016|     performance;
    |
0017|               C.  is not afflicted with any serious emotional or

    |
0023|     and
    |
0024|               E.  would not, in the opinion of the
    |
0025|     [superintendent] warden, be likely to evoke an adverse
    |
0001|     public reaction by his presence in the community."
    |
0002|          Section 9.  Section 33-9-7 NMSA 1978 (being Laws 1983,
    |
0003|     Chapter 202, Section 7, as amended) is amended to read:
    |
0004|          "33-9-7.  STATE SELECTION PANEL.--
    |
0005|               A.  The department shall establish a state panel
    |
0006|     whose duties shall be to immediately screen and identify
    |
0007|     criminal offenders sentenced to imprisonment in a correctional
    |
0008|     facility of the department, except individuals sentenced or
    |
0009|     transferred from a judicial district [which] that has
    |
0010|     established a local panel to exercise these duties pursuant to
    |
0011|     the provisions of Section 33-9-8 NMSA 1978, who meet the
    |
0012|     following criteria:
    |
0013|                   (1)  the offender has not been sentenced to
    |
0014|     life imprisonment without the possibility of parole;  
    |
0015|                    [(1)] (2)  the crime involved is one for
    |
0016|     which community service or reasonable restitution may be made
    |
0017|     using a payment schedule compatible with the total amount of
    |
0018|     restitution to be paid and the time the offender is to
    |
0019|     participate in a program; and
    |
0020|                    [(2)] (3)  the offender is willing to enter
    |
0021|     into a contract [which] that establishes objectives
    |
0022|     [which] that shall be achieved before release from the
    |
0023|     program.
    |
0024|               B.  The department may establish criteria in
    |
0025|     addition to those established in Subsection A of this section
    |
0001|     for the screening of criminal offenders who would benefit from
    |
0002|     participation in a program and who would not pose a threat to
    |
0003|     the community.
    |
0004|               C.  If the state panel determines that a criminal
    |
0005|     offender is suitable for placement in a program, a
    |
0006|     recommendation to that effect and for modification of sentence
    |
0007|     shall be presented as soon as possible to the sentencing judge
    |
0008|     who may, notwithstanding any provision of law, accept, modify
    |
0009|     or reject the recommendation.  The sentencing judge's
    |
0010|     determination shall be presented to the county, municipality or
    |
0011|     private nonprofit organization, as applicable, for approval or 
    |
0012|     rejection.  In no event shall the sentencing judge order to be
    |
0013|     placed into a program any criminal offender whom the state
    |
0014|     selection panel has not approved."
