904.702 Deduction to pay court costs, industries program costs, incarceration costs, or dependents---deposits---savings fund.

If allowances are paid pursuant to section 904.701, the director may deduct an amount established by the inmate's restitution plan of payment or an amount sufficient to pay all or part of the court costs taxed as a result of the inmate's commitment. The amount deducted shall be forwarded to the clerk of the district court or proper official. The director may deduct an amount, not to exceed ten percent of the amount of the allowance, unless the inmate requests a larger amount, to be deposited into the inmate savings fund established in section 904.508. However, if the inmate's deposit in the inmate savings fund is sufficient to pay the amount due the inmate upon discharge, parole, or placement on work release pursuant to section 906.9, and the inmate has voluntarily withdrawn from the savings fund, the director shall not make further deposits from the inmate's allowances into the savings fund unless the inmate chooses to participate in the savings fund. The director may deduct and disburse an amount sufficient for industries' programs to qualify under the eligibility requirements established in the Justice Assistance Act of 1984, Pub. L. No. 98-473, including an amount to pay all or part of the cost of the inmate's incarceration. The director may pay all or any part of remaining allowances paid pursuant to section 904.701 directly to a dependent of the inmate, or may deposit the allowance to the account of the inmate, or may deposit a portion and allow the inmate a portion for the inmate's personal use.
