SECTION 189
Disposition of moneys paid to prisoner for his labor
Correction (COR) CHAPTER 43, ARTICLE 7
§ 189. Disposition of moneys paid to prisoner for his labor. The
amount of such compensation to the credit of any prisoner may be drawn
by the prisoner during his imprisonment, only upon approval of the
commissioner to aid dependent relatives of such prisoner, or for such
other purposes as the commissioner may approve. Such disbursement to aid
a dependent relative of a prisoner may be made without the consent of
such prisoner upon the certificate of the commissioner of welfare, or
other officer performing the duties of a commissioner of welfare, of the
community in which such dependent is located. Any balance to the credit
of any prisoner at the time of his conditional release as provided by
this chapter shall be subject to the draft of the prisoner in such
amounts and at such times as the commissioner shall approve; provided,
however, that at the date of absolute discharge of any prisoner the
balance as aforesaid shall be paid to such prisoner.
