Chapter 2 – Fiscal Management

23010.4 Budget

• Each institution/facility shall budget IWFInmate Welfare Fund expenditures so that expenditures shall not exceed budget allocations and revenues from IWFInmate Welfare Fund activities unless approved by the Central Office IWFInmate Welfare Fund Officer. An appropriate exception would be if a major IWFInmate Welfare Fund project has been authorized, (e.g., replacement equipment, new equipment for new institutions/facilities, and startup inventories).

• There may be unanticipated deficiencies due to situations which occur after approval of the institution’s/facility’s IWFInmate Welfare Fund budget. These unanticipated deficiencies shall be carried into the subsequent fiscal year by the institution/facility.

• Any IWFInmate Welfare Fund expenditures shall be consistent with the provisions of this Article.

• The Warden or his/her designee of each institution, in collaboration with at least two representatives from advocacy groups for inmates shall meet at least biannually to determine how the money in the fund shall be used to benefit the inmates of the respective institution.

• Inmate Advisory Committee

  • The institution/facility Inmate Advisory Committee, or other group(s) representing the inmate body, shall submit in writing their view of proposed expenditures, particularly in the area of inmate benefit expenditures, during the preparation of the IWFInmate Welfare Fund budget.
