§ 860. Disposition of earnings. The earnings of an incarcerated

individual participating in a work release program, less any payroll

deductions required or authorized by law, shall be turned over to the

warden who shall deposit such receipts as incarcerated individuals'

funds pursuant to section one hundred sixteen of this chapter. Such

receipts shall not be subject to attachment or garnishment in the hands

of the warden. The commissioner of correction may authorize the warden

to make disbursements of such receipts, and such receipts may be

disbursed, for any or all of the following purposes:

1. Appropriate and reasonable costs related to the incarcerated

individual's participation in the work release program;

2. Support of the incarcerated individual's dependents;

3. Payment of fines imposed by any court;

4. Payment of any court ordered restitution or reparation to the

victim of the incarcerated individual's crime.

5. Purchases by the incarcerated individual from the commissary of the

institution.

The balance of such receipts, if any, after disbursements for the

foregoing purposes shall be paid to the incarcerated individual upon

termination of his or her imprisonment.
