242.43 COMMISSIONER, DUTIES.
The commissioner of corrections shall receive, clothe, maintain, and instruct all children duly
committed to the Corrections Department and placed in a state correctional facility for juveniles
and keep them in custody until placed on probation, paroled, or discharged. The commissioner
may place any of these children in suitable foster care facilities or cause them to be instructed in
such trades or employment as in the commissioner's judgment will be most conducive to their
reformation and tend to the future benefit and advantage of these children. The commissioner
may discharge any child so committed, or may recall to the facility at any time any child paroled,
placed on probation, or transferred; and, upon recall, may resume the care and control thereof.
The discharge of a child by the commissioner shall be a complete release from all penalties and
disabilities created by reason of the commitment.
Upon the parole or discharge of any inmate of any state juvenile correctional facility, the
commissioner of corrections may pay to each inmate released an amount of money not exceeding
the sum of $10. All payments shall be made from the current expense fund of the facility.
