OPINION
MURRAY M. SCHWARTZ, District Judge.
This action was brought by Thomas Win-sett, an inmate at the Delaware Correctional Center (“D.C.C.”), pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The gravamen of plaintiff’s complaint is that the denial by prison officials of his request for classification to the work release program at D.C.C. was based on constitutionally impermissible reasons, thereby depriving him of liberty without due process of law and of equal protection under law. Plaintiff seeks injunctive and declaratory relief, as well as damages for the money he would have earned had he been working.
