18-9009. Conditions of release of illegal alien from confinement. Following entry of a judgment of conviction for a criminal offense, no person eighteen (18) years of age or older that is known to be an illegal alien shall be released from confinement in any correctional facility, state rehabilitation center, penitentiary, prison, county jail, or city jail until the determinate sentence has been completed, and thereafter may only be released prior to the person's completion of his indeterminate sentence if the alien is being released into the custody of law enforcement officials from another state or the federal government for further criminal proceedings or if the custodial authority first obtains written confirmation from DHS that DHS will take custody of the person upon release and deport the person from the United States. An illegal alien shall not be eligible to participate in alternate sentencing programs such as work release, inmate labor detail, a scheduled sentence program, or similar programs.
