(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, the Warden may grant a furlough only to an inmate with community custody.

(c) The Warden may grant a furlough only to an inmate the Warden determines to be physically and mentally capable of completing the furlough. (d) The Warden may grant a furlough only to an inmate who has demonstrated sufficient responsibility to provide reasonable assurance that furlough requirements will be met. (e) The Warden shall determine the eligibility of an inmate for furlough in accord with the inmate's anticipated release date and the basis for the furlough request.
