54070.5 Canteen Draw Schedule

  • A canteen draw schedule developed by the trust office and approved by the Warden or their designee, shall:

    • Be published at least semi-annually.

    • Be posted in the housing units at each institution and camp.

    • List three canteen draws for each month based on the last two digits of the inmate’s departmental identification number.

  • Each inmate may withdraw funds from their trust account for canteen purchase no less than once per month in accordance with the posted schedule.

  • If an inmate misses a scheduled draw for their group (last two digits), they may submit a request for a “make-up” draw.

  • Note: Due to overpopulation at some institutions, some Wardens do not authorize a “make-up” draw.
