To test if a new law restricting deductions on inmate bank accounts was working properly at the beginning of the month, Jodi Hocking deposited $10 for her husband, an inmate with the Nevada Department of Corrections.
Since September 2020, Return Strong, a prisoners advocacy group Hocking started, along with the ACLU of Nevada and other groups have decried the department’s policy that raided accounts and took up to 80% from inmates.
During this year’s legislative session, Sen. Melanie Scheible proposed a fix in Senate Bill 22 tocap how muchNDOC can deduct from inmates’ accounts. The bill, which went into effect July 1, limits deductions from friends and family at 25% and money earned through jobs at 50%.
