SB 2234 Mississippi Senate · 2025 Regular Session

DOC MAGCOR work initiative program; technical amendments.

SB 2234 clarifies how Mississippi inmates in the MAGCOR work initiative program manage their earnings. It requires that all wage withholdings be calculated after mandatory payments (like court-ordered fines, restitution, or dependent support), and mandates that facilities report these deductions for each participant. The bill also specifies that 15% of post-deduction wages must cover administrative costs (paid to the facility or county), while inmates save 50% of earnings for release. Additionally, it requires facilities to track and report financial account creation dates and participant data (including race, gender, and offense type) to legislative committees semiannually.
