How Inmate Trust Accounts and Restitution Work at Dick Connor Correctional
Money on the inside gets confusing fast. At Dick Connor Correctional, Offender Banking tracks inmate funds, processes canteen purchases, and handles restitution accounting.
Offender Banking is the behind-the-scenes office that keeps inmate finances moving at Dick Connor Correctional. It manages restitution accounting, oversees trust fund balances, and supports canteen operations. Wondering where an inmate's money sits, what it can be used for, or how financial obligations get tracked? It all runs through this system.
Key point: Restitution accounting is also where Probation and Parole supervision fees and victims’ restitution payments are collected and then distributed to the appropriate entities.
An inmate's trust fund at Dick Connor Correctional isn't one simple pot of money. It has three parts: an available balance, a mandatory savings account, and an interest-bearing savings account. The available balance covers day-to-day spending. The other two portions are set aside - one as required savings, the other earning interest over time.
- ✓ Available balance - the portion of the trust fund that’s available for regular use.
- ✓ Mandatory savings account - a required savings portion kept separate from the available balance.
- ✓ Interest-bearing savings account - a savings portion that’s held in an account designed to earn interest.
Why this matters: Not all trust fund money is equally spendable. Some stays in savings (including an interest-bearing portion), while the available balance handles everyday transactions.
Restitution accounting collects Probation and Parole supervision fees and victims' restitution payments. Those funds are handled according to statutory requirements, then distributed to the appropriate entities. If you're wondering where restitution money goes after collection, this is the part of Offender Banking that tracks it and routes it where it needs to go.
Note: The Offender Banking overview does not list specific deduction amounts or rates for supervision fees or restitution - those details come from the statutory requirements tied to the individual case.
Inmates can use available funds to buy items through the facility canteen, subject to limits. That spending comes from the trust fund's available balance - the portion meant for day-to-day purchases. The savings portions stay separate.
- Know the maximum account balance - inmate accounts are limited to holding a maximum balance of $99,999,999.99.
