      (b) Opportunities for employment when the offender is released from custody;

      (c) Interests of offenders; and

      (d) The number of offenders desiring participation in such programs.

      4.  No offender has a right to be admitted to a program of education, vocational education and training or other rehabilitation programs established pursuant to this section, and it is not intended that the establishment of such programs or the failure to establish such programs creates any right or interest in liberty or property or establishes a basis for any cause of action against the State, its political subdivisions, agencies, boards, commissions, departments officers or employees.
