Ed Komarnicki at the Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Head.

Reading your initial comments and the notes, you talk about the fact that commissioner's directive 860 on inmate money allows, at the discretion of the institutional head, a deduction of up to 25% of the inmate's total income for the cost of room and board. Is that discretion exercised very often, and to what extent?
