Amends California Penal Code to allow county jail boards to credit prisoners with wages for work performed.
California AB248 amends Section 4019.3 of the Penal Code, allowing the board of supervisors to credit each prisoner with a sum of money for performing work assignments in county jails. This change replaces the previous law that limited the credit to up to $2 for each 8 hours of work. The amount to be credited is determined by the board of supervisors.
