The Department of Corrections may conditionally release selected inmates and may extend the limits of the place of confinement of such inmates of the state penitentiary. If the warden determines that the character and attitude of an inmate reasonably indicate that the inmate may be so trusted, the warden may release and provide for continued supervision of such an inmate to work at paid employment, to seek employment, or to participate in vocational training or other educational programs in the community after such employment or program has been investigated and approved pursuant to rules promulgated by the Department of Corrections. The warden may, with or without cause, terminate or suspend any such release.
