Inmates of the institutions may be required to perform any proper and reasonable service suited to their strength and attainments, for the benefit of the institutions or the welfare of the inmates, either in the institutions proper or in the industries established in connection with them. When an inmate of an institution is working outside the institution proper, the inmate shall be deemed at all times to be in the actual custody of the superintendent of the institution.
The director may when practicable pay the inmate an allowance as the director deems proper in view of the circumstances, and in view of the cost attending the maintenance of the inmate. The allowance is a gratuitous payment and is not a wage arising out of an employment relationship. The payment shall not exceed the amount paid to free labor for a like or equivalent service.
