§1652. Additional duties
In addition to the duties imposed upon it otherwise in this Chapter, it shall be the duty of the Louisiana Board of Institutions to:
(1) Represent the public interest in the administration of this Section.
(2) To advise the Governor and the Board of Parole and Bureau of Probation and Parole on problems concerning the administration of their functions.
(3) To establish job placement and training committees and to appoint the members of the committees who shall advise and assist in finding gainful employment for parolees about to be released on parole from any penal or correctional institution, and in providing programs for the training of inmates of penal and correctional institutions. These committees shall be selected on the basis of knowledge, interest and experience in the various allied fields of interest of the particular committee on which they serve. It shall be the duty of the committee to study the need and problems of convicted persons upon their return to society, and to assist the Louisiana Board of Institutions in the placement of parolees. Recommendations of the committee shall not be binding on the Louisiana Board of Institutions, but should be persuasive and followed as far as is practicable. The Louisiana Board of Institutions shall prescribe the places and times of meeting of each of the committees.
(4) To make, either at the direction of the Governor or upon the petition of any citizen for just cause, any investigation concerning the administration of this Section and to review, modify or set aside any action by the employees which the Board may determine to be desirable or necessary in the public interest.
(5) To make and publish annual reports and such special reports as it considers desirable to the Governor regarding the administration of this Section.
(6) To conduct hearings and to pass upon complaints that may be made concerning the administration of this Section.
(7) To make, alter, amend and promulgate rules. For the purpose of providing uniformity in administration of the agencies herein transferred and merged, the Louisiana Board of Institutions may adopt special rules.
(8) To hear and pass upon such other matters which may from time to time be brought before the Board for determination (including the transfer of inmates between correctional and penal institutions).
