RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the Office of the Sheriff report, in accordance with Penal Code Section 4025(e), illustrating an accounting of all Inmate Welfare Fund receipts and disbursements for Fiscal Year 2020/2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

Penal Code Section 4025(e) states that money and property deposited in the Inmate Welfare Fund shall be expended by the Office of the Sheriff-Coroner primarily for the benefit, education, and welfare of inmates confined within the jail. Any funds not needed for the welfare of inmates may be expended for the maintenance of county jail facilities. Maintenance of county jail facilities may include, but is not limited to, the salary and benefits of personnel used in the programs to benefit the inmates, education, drug and alcohol treatment, welfare, library, accounting, and other programs deemed appropriate by the Sheriff. An itemized report of these expenditures shall be submitted annually to the Board of Supervisors.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This fund received the majority of its revenues from inmate telephone commissions and commissary sales. The Director of Inmate Services, working with the public members of the Inmate Welfare Committee, manages the delivery of professional services, establishes an annual budget and oversees expenditures for the Sheriff.

The Inmate Welfare Fund continues to provide valuable professional, educational, and recreational services to persons in custody at the Martinez Detention Facility, West County Detention Facility, and the Marsh Creek Detention Facility.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If unapproved, the County will not be in compliance with Penal Code section 4025(e).
