A properly furnished room shall be made available by the Department of Corrections for hearings before the board. All officers and employees of the Department of Corrections shall at all times cooperate with the Board of Pardons and Paroles and the executive director of the board, give access to all inmates, and furnish such information as the board or the director may request pertaining to the performance of their duties.
