- House: Assembly
Current Status:
In Progress
(2025-01-16: From printer. May be heard in committee February 15.)
Version:
Existing law provides that a county jail is kept by the sheriff of the county in which the jail is situated and is to be used for specified purposes, including for the confinement of persons sentenced to imprisonment in the county jail upon a criminal conviction. Existing law authorizes the board of supervisors to credit each prisoner confined in or committed to county jail up to $2 for each 8 hours of work performed in jail.
This bill would instead authorize the board to credit each prisoner with a wage to be determined by the board.
