    (a) The Department shall establish rules governing release
status and shall provide written copies of such rules to both
the committed person on work or day release and to the employer
or other person responsible for the individual. Such employer
or other responsible person shall agree to abide by such
rules, notify the Department of any violation thereof by the
individual on release status, and notify the Department of the
discharge of the person from work or other programs.
    (b) If a committed person violates any rule, the
Department may impose sanctions appropriate to the violation.
The Department shall provide sanctions for unauthorized
absences which shall include prosecution for escape under
Section 3-6-4.
    (c) An order certified by the Director, Assistant
Director, or the Supervisor of the Apprehension Unit, or a
person duly designated by him or her, with the seal of the
Department of Corrections attached and directed to all
sheriffs, coroners, police officers, or to any particular
persons named in the order shall be sufficient warrant for the
officer or person named therein to arrest and deliver the
violator to the proper correctional official. Such order shall
be executed the same as criminal processes.
    In the event that a work-releasee is arrested for another
crime, the sheriff or police officer shall hold the releasee
in custody until he notifies the nearest Office of Field
Services or any of the above-named persons designated in this
Section to certify the particular process or warrant.
    (d) Not less than 3 15 days prior to any person being
placed in a work release facility, the Department of
Corrections shall provide to the State's Attorney and Sheriff

relevant identifying information concerning the person to be
placed in the work release facility. Such information shall
include, but not be limited to, such identifying information
as name, age, physical description, photograph, the offense,

Department of Corrections, and like information. The
Department of Corrections shall, in addition, give written
notice not less than 3 15 days prior to the placement to the
State's Attorney of the county from which the offender was
originally sentenced. The notification requirements of this
subsection (d) may be electronic notification for individuals

    (e) For those individuals required to be housed outside
