Overview

RULE:

33-601.502

Discharge Gratuity

PURPOSE:

The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to allow for payment of a discharge gratuity to inmates not otherwise eligible when the warden or his designee determines that such payment is in the best interest of the inmate and the state, and to increase the amount of the gratuity paid to inmates reinstated or restored to supervision.

SUMMARY:

Inmates being released with a balance of $100 or more in their account have historically been denied a discharge gratuity. The proposed rule will allow the warden or designee to provide a discharge gratuity of up to $40 for these inmates who were previously ineligible for such.  The proposed rule also increased the amount of the gratuity paid to inmates reinstated or restored to supervision from $15 to $20.
