What it does

Existing law allows the sheriff of each county to operate a store in connection with the county jail to sell confectionary, tobacco, postage and writing materials, and toilet articles and supplies to inmates in the jail. Existing law requires the sheriff to fix the sale prices of articles offered by the store and requires any profit to be deposited in the inmate welfare fund. Existing law also requires that any money, refund, rebate, or commission received from a telephone company or pay telephone provider attributable to the use of pay telephones primarily used by incarcerated persons to be deposited in the inmate welfare fund.
