Alabama law offers a perverse incentive for county sheriffs to cut corners feeding jail inmates,
THE EDITION: Alabama law provides a perverse incentive for sheriffs Landkreis cut power to the corners prison population, which allows sheriffs to pad their personal bank accounts.
Make sure that the legislative power of local systems of the school a certain amount of money to educate children and the opportunity for the inspectors pocket as their own money, the schools do not pass.
Or to say that the legislature Landkreis and directors of the Human Resources Division left United States dollars, after the payments made by using temporary assistance for needy families, themselves. DHR’s either, but on that.
Talk using a dangerous perverse incentive. Like many local school directors and managers would Landkreis DHR corner Pad own bank accounts? But padding their own bank accounts is exactly what the law allows the county sheriff in Alabama with money remaining after inmates at prisons in flux, Alabama to a general power of attorney in the opinion of the last week.
In fact, the practice is not new, as Attorney General Troy King in the notice, it is not the first dispute on the issue. “Most of the sheriffs maintain the status quo, food and services for personal incomes of the year,” says the opinion. In 1996, the state inspector of Public Accounts sheriffs recommended that “all other balance of the funds after feeding inmates, are among the Sheriff personally.
Not only debt King, a former Attorney General, the auditors or opinions. Blame also the legislature for a wave terribly written, the law stipulates that the fees charged by the sheriff is in the circle of funds “, except for sums and compensation for prisoners of food, the different sheriffs of various counties, the right to keep and loyalty. “maintain and win,” has been interpreted to mean officials, what’s happening on the left on personal income.
The director of the Association welcomed the Alabama Sheriffs King’s opinion, and said he is entitled to the sheriff manage incitement to prison grocery costs with caution. (What do you have planned, what is different?) What would be an incentive sheriff, the costs of managing wiser - or at least with less of an eye on their own account bank - would be a law, the remaining funds from feeding prisoners are spent in the Sheriff’s Division of repression. Or, that the barrier, so that the commissions Landkreis to designate the money is not used for their most pressing needs of the province.
The law does not make sense, given that public policy, and does not make sense for taxpayers who have already paid the salaries for county sheriffs their work.
The legislature needs to be an overhaul of the law to ensure that the money stays in food for the inmates of the prison means more than feed sheriff ‘personal bank accounts.
