(B) INMATE PAYMENTS.

WHILE CONFINED IN THE TALBOT COUNTY JAIL, AN INMATE EMPLOYED UNDER
§ 11-602 OF THIS TITLE SHALL PAY:

(1) COURT-ORDERED PAYMENTS FOR RESTITUTION; AND

(2) THE COST OF THE FOOD, LODGING, AND CLOTHING OF THE INMATE.

(C) DUTIES OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL.
THE COUNTY COUNCIL SHALL:

(1) ESTABLISH THE PER DIEM RATE FOR THE FOOD, LODGING, AND
CLOTHING OF AN INMATE; AND

(2) DESIGNATE AN AGENT TO COLLECT THE COSTS SPECIFIED IN THIS

SECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new language added to
clarify that this section applies only in Talbot County.

Subsections (b) and (c) of this section are new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 645CC.

In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to "confined" is substituted
for the former reference to "incarcerated" for consistency throughout this
article. See General Revisor's Note to this article.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "while in the jail", which
formerly modified the reference to "the cost of their own food, lodging, and
clothing", is deleted as unnecessary in light of the reference in the
introductory language of this subsection to an inmate "[w]hile confined in
the Talbot County Jail".

The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that subsection (b) of this section
sets forth rules governing the disposition of an inmate's earnings. The
Committee further notes that there are significant inconsistencies
throughout this article in statutory provisions governing the disposition of
an inmate's earnings in different contexts. See, e.g., §§ 3-804, 3-807(e)(1),
9-504(d), 9-512(b), 11-319(b), 11-407(b), 11-604, 11-703(d)(4), 11-704(d),
11-705(i), 11-706(b)(5), 11-707(b), 11-708(b)(7), 11-711(g), 11-712(c)(5),
11-714(c)(4), 11-715(e), 11-7l6(g), 11-717(e), 11-718(e), 11-719(b),
11-724(g), and 11-725(b) of this article and accompanying Revisor's Notes.
The General Assembly may wish to examine all of the relevant provisions
and determine whether they should be changed to reflect a more consistent
policy in this area.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the reference to "an inmate" is added to
state expressly that which was only implied in the former law.
