Lots of jailed murderers will be getting that Stim check too. The Boston Bomber, Dylan Roof are but two examples.
I am hoping they don’t have access to the money while locked up. No one seems to know if they do or not.
I can verify that inmates are allowed access to any and all money, be it social security, pensions, trust funds, etc.
In RN school we did a rotation through a mental health prison. They were quick to inform us during our orientation that there were many that were incarcerated that had ample money. Some of the inmates had family sending them large sums of money every month.
The reasoning for telling us this, is that many of the inmates will try to pay large sums of money to the student nurses, staff and guards to bring in contraband items. They actually had a “Wall of Shame” for those staff members that were fired and escorted out of the facility to taking bribes and providing banned items.
