Court allows prisoner's random leave request due to house fire, ruling director's reliance on criminal prognosis insufficient.

The court overturned the prison director's refusal to grant random leave to a prisoner whose home was destroyed by fire. The prisoner argued he needed time to secure his property, while the director cited a negative social-criminological prognosis. The court held that the statutory requirement for 'particularly important circumstances' was met by the tragic loss of the home, and the director failed to adequately assess the feasibility of securing the property under escort.
