LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST
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 sum of money to be determined by the board.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1.
Section 4019.3 of the Penal Code is amended to read:
4019.3.
The board of supervisors may credit each prisoner with a sum of money to be determined by the board if the prisoner is confined in or committed to a county jail and performs a work assignment.
