Sec. 1d.
The Department of Employment Security, through the several free employment
offices, in cooperation with the Department of Corrections, shall seek to provide proper employment opportunities for discharged convicts or
prisoners, and shall assist such discharged prisoners to retain suitable
employment for such reasonable time as will afford such prisoners an
opportunity to become self-reliant. In no instance shall there be any
misrepresentation as to the records of persons for whom employment is
sought, under the provisions of this Section.
The Department of Employment Security through the several free employment
offices shall also co-operate with the Department of Corrections to secure
suitable employment for paroled convicts or prisoners and to help them
retain such employment during the period of their parole and for such
reasonable time thereafter as shall afford such convicts or prisoners an
opportunity to become self-reliant.
