This program is funded with state general fund, interagency transfers, fees and self-generated revenues, and federal funds. Interagency transfers are derived from the Department of Education for the school lunch program and from the Department of Transportation and Development for security costs associated with the inmate road clean up crews. The fees and self-generated revenues are derived from the employee purchase of meals and telephone commissions. Federal funds are derived from Social Security for Supplemental Security Income payments for eligible offenders as reimbursement to the institution for the offenders' care and upkeep.
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 90.9% of the existing operating budget. It represents 80.3% of the total request ($6,631,883) for this program. The decrease in the recommended level is primarily attributed to the statewide Risk Management adjustment and the adjustment in attrition.
