South Dakota SB140 revises inmate compensation, requiring 25% of earnings to be deposited in a personal savings account.

South Dakota SB140 amends provisions related to inmate compensation, requiring correctional facility officials to deposit 25% of all earnings into a personal savings account for each inmate. These funds cannot be used to cover any obligations. Upon an inmate's discharge, the remaining funds are disbursed. The bill also mandates that interest accrued from these savings be deposited into the crime victims' compensation fund. Additionally, it clarifies that inmates are liable for court-ordered fines, costs, fees, sanctions, and any balance in their personal savings account.
