The Board of Supervisors finds and declares that it is the policy
of the County to encourage inmates in the County jail system to develop
skills and work experience that will enhance their ability to find
employment after their release from custody. The purpose of the County's
jail industry program is to provide meaningful training and work experience
under the supervision of the Sheriff to selected inmates who volunteer
to participate in such program. It is a further purpose of the program
to generate revenue for the County to help offset the cost of incarcerating
the inmates participating in the program.
(SCC 0926 § 1, 1993)
Program staffing may include County staff, instructors from
the Elk Grove Unified School District Adult Education program, qualified
volunteers and such other persons deemed appropriate by the Sheriff.
(SCC 0926 § 1, 1993)
The Sheriff may promulgate rules and regulations governing the
operation and implementation of the County jail industry program.
(SCC 0926 § 1, 1993)
There is hereby established in the County Treasury a County
jail industry trust fund. All revenue and expenditures associated
with the operation of the County jail industry program shall be accounted
for in such trust fund. The County Auditor-Controller shall audit
such fund on an annual basis with the cost of such audit to be charged
to that fund.
