(1) COURT-ORDERED PAYMENTS FOR RESTITUTION; AND
(2) THE COST OF THE FOOD, LODGING, AND CLOTHING OF THE INMATE.
(C) DUTIES OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 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 Worcester County.
Subsections (b) and (c) of this section are new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 645AA, as it applied to
Worcester County.
In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to "confined in" is
substituted for the former reference to "incarcerated" for consistency
throughout this article. See General Revisor's Note to this article.
In subsection (b)(2) 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 Worcester 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)(l),
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), 11-716(g), 11-717(e), 11-718(e), 11-719(b),
11-722(b), and 11-724(g) 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 the introductory language of subsection (c) of this section, the phrase
"[i]n their respective counties", which formerly modified the reference to
the duties of the County Commissioners to "[e]stablish the per diem rate"
and "[d]esignate an agent", is deleted as unnecessary since this section
applies only in Worcester County. See § 11-706 of this subtitle for the
revision of former Art. 27, § 645AA, as it applied to Caroline County.
