The County of Boonsville operates a jail, and some inmates work in the jail, for which they are compensated. Their earnings are deposited into an account established and held by the County in the name of individual inmates. Families of the inmates also can deposit monies into an inmate’s account. The inmates can use the funds in their accounts to purchase items from the commissary or order certain items, such as magazines or books, from outside vendors. Any balance remaining in the account of an inmate is paid to him/her upon release from jail.

The following are selected transactions incurred during calendar year 2022 that are related to the fund.

1. The County deposits $52,800 in inmate accounts during the year.
