The Legislature finds and declares that the program for general education of offenders and the program of education of offenders in English as a second language are acts of grace of the State. No offender has a right to participate in such a program, and it is not intended that the establishment of such programs create any such right or interest in liberty or property or establish a basis for any cause of action against the State, its political subdivisions, agencies, boards, commissions, departments, officers or employees.
