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

institution.
    (c) The Warden may grant a furlough only to an inmate the Warden 
determines to be physically and mentally capable of completing the 
furlough.

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.
    (1) The Warden may approve only an emergency furlough (family crisis 
or other urgent situation) for an inmate who has been confined at the 
initially designated institution for less than 90 days.
    (2) The Warden may approve only an emergency furlough for an inmate 
with more than two years remaining until the inmate's anticipated
