The Dept. of Corrections is an administrative department responsible for administering and exercising direct and effective control over penal and corrections insitituions throughout Ala. (Ala. Code 14-1-1.2 [Supp. 1988]). This series consists of bank checking and savings account statements maintained by each facility in the prison system. Four types of funds are represented in these accounts. The prisoner's money on deposit account contains money which is surrendered by a prisoner when he visits the prison system. He may draw from this fund when he visits the prison canteen. The welfare fund account is money donated to a prison to purchase items for the prisoners that the department may not usually supply. The revolving fund is used for issuing cash payments to convicts when they are discharged from prison (Ala. Code 14-10-2, [Supp. 1988]). This fund is reimbursed by the department on a monthly basis from the department's general fund budget. The final account is called the general fund account and contains monies collected in exchange for providing convict labor to cities, counties, or state agencies. The money in the general account is periodically transferred into the department's fund account in Montgomery. The information available on the statements includes deposit and withdrawal dates and amounts, cancelled checks, and account balances.
