25 1. a. The department of corrections, in
26 cooperation with the judicial district departments of
27 correctional services, shall establish in each
28 judicial district a continuum of programming for the
29 supervision and treatment of offenders convicted of
30 violating chapter 321J who are sentenced to the
31 custody of the director. The continuum shall include
32 a range of sanctioning options that include, but are
33 not limited to, prisons and residential facilities.
34 b. (1) The department of corrections shall
35 develop standardized assessment criteria for the
36 assignment of offenders pursuant to this chapter.
37 (2) Offenders convicted of violating chapter 321J,
38 sentenced to the custody of the director, and awaiting
39 placement in a community residential substance abuse
40 treatment program for such offenders shall be placed
41 in an institutional substance abuse program for such
42 offenders within sixty days of admission to the
43 institution or as soon as practical. When placing
44 offenders convicted of violating chapter 321J in
45 community residential substance abuse treatment
46 programs for such offenders, the department shall give
47 priority as appropriate to the placement of those
48 offenders currently in institutional substance abuse
49 programs for such offenders. The department shall
50 work with each judicial district to enable such
Page 19
1 offenders to enter community residential substance
2 abuse treatment programs at a level comparable to
3 their prior institutional program participation.
4 (3) Assignment shall be for the purposes of risk
5 management and substance abuse treatment and may
6 include education or work programs when the offender
7 is not participating in other program components.
8 (4) Assignment may also be made on the basis of
9 the offender's treatment program performance, as a
10 disciplinary measure, for medical needs, and for space
11 availability at community residential facilities. If
12 there is insufficient space at a community residential
13 facility, the court may order an offender to be
14 released to the supervision of the judicial district
15 department of correctional services or held in jail."
