What happens to money the inmates earn while working?
Any earnings from an Institutional, Work Release, CTP, Traditional or Private Sector Prison Industries payroll will be deposited into an inmate’s account according to established procedures. Inmates assigned to the Work Release program will first have room and board expenses and other authorized work expenses deducted from their work release paycheck(s) and the remaining funds will be distributed according to the DOC policy. Inmates assigned to the Private Sector Prison Industries (PSPI) Program will first have obligations under DOC Policy deducted from their PSPI payroll and the remaining financial resources will be distributed according to policy.
