3. The inmate has completed relevant rehabilitation programs, as determined by the Department and the Board, available at the correctional facility or applied for, but was unable to complete, or was denied access to, these programs due to circumstances beyond the inmate's control including, but not limited to, capacity limitations or exclusionary policies of these programs; and
