SUMMARY

 
This bill facilitates the use of prepaid minutes in the
State's prisoner telephone system. It also provides that a
prisoner who has been ordered to pay restitution or fines may not
participate in an industry program or any other program
administered by the Department of Corrections or a sheriff by
which a prisoner is able to generate money unless the prisoner
consents to pay at least 25% of the prisoner's gross weekly wages
or other money generated to the victim or the court until such
time as full restitution has been made or the fine is paid in
full.
