(1) A sentence, assignment, or transfer of an offender to a community correctional facility or program operated by the department, a unit of local government, or a nongovernmental agency shall be conditioned on the entrance of the offender into a contract or agreement with the department, unit of local government, or nongovernmental agency. This requirement shall apply to, but not be limited to, offenders directly sentenced to a community correctional facility or program and to offenders transferred to such a facility or program from the department. The contract or agreement may provide for a percentage or amount of money received from employment of the offender to be set aside to pay family support if appropriate, to establish a savings account or fund to be utilized by the offender upon release, and to be used for any other requirements which the parties deem necessary, including reimbursement to the appropriate unit of local government or nongovernmental agency to help defray the cost of residential services for such offender.
(2) In a community correctional facility or program, the primary obligation for obtaining employment shall be on the offender, but the Department of Labor shall provide assistance in obtaining employment for offenders participating in a community correctional facility or program.
