• Individuals residing in state or local, publicly or privately owned, supervised community residential facilities (e.g., halfway houses). Individuals must be able to work outside of the facility, be able to use community resources, and be able to seek health care treatment in the broader community. Examples of individuals considered inmates in a public institution include: • Inmates involuntarily residing at a wilderness camp under governmental control; • Inmates receiving outpatient care, while living in a public institution; and • Inmates residing in Federal Residential Reentry Centers (RRCs). 6. Reinstatement Once it has been verified with TDOC or the local jail that an individual no longer meets the requirements to be considered an inmate involuntarily confined in a public institution, the individual is removed from suspended status. The individual is no longer in a suspended status effective the day after such verification.
