Page 1: Purpose, Policy, and Procedure Overview

I. PURPOSE AND SCOPE

  • Establishes procedures and security controls regarding the management of funds.

II. POLICY

  • General Guidelines for Money Release:

    • Money can only be released within the first 24 hours after booking unless authorized by the Facility Commander.

    • If release is approved, all of the individual's money must be released.

    • No transfers allowed between individuals' accounts.

    • Money will not be released to individuals incarcerated within the last 30 days.

    • Any money found during visits or work crews will be confiscated and may be deposited into the Stanislaus County General Fund.

  • Touch-Pay System Failure:

    • If the Touch-Pay System is down, a written check must be issued to the releasing individual.

    • The releasing supervisor will process the check using the ICJIS check printer, and the transaction records are stored in ICJIS under that individual's account.

    • The check is delivered to the releasing deputy for verification before release.

III. DEFINITIONS

  • Defined terms related to funds and policies are not included in the content but exist in the full document.

IV. PROCEDURE

  • Funds for Individuals Transferred to Prison:

    • Individuals released to prison or an out-of-county agency with funds on their books require checks to be processed instead of debit cards.

    • For those sent to an out-of-county agency, the check goes to the individual, not the agency.
