day he works outside of the prison. The department shall collect information

those with families of greatest dependency shall be given preference in assignments
to work outside of the prison, if the record, physical ability, and conduct of the
prisoner warrants preference. (2) The administrative regulations may provide that any infraction of the regulations or of the regulations governing the discipline of the prisoners, either while confined
within the walls of the prison, or while engaged in employment outside the prison,
shall work a forfeiture of the benefits authorized in this section, either in whole or
in part, in the discretion of the department. Payments to the prisoners or their
