Prisons fund data and call monitoring

For July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026, the law provides $8 million for AI-powered monitoring and investigation of inmate communications.

County jail payments include debt deductions

For July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026, the law provides about $55.63 million for local jail and criminal-case payments. Eligible county jail reimbursements are $24.95 per prisoner per day, with about $49.96 million budgeted for them. Funding also covers prisoner delivery, transportation, extradition, specified case costs, and overdue payments. Up to 10% can shift among jail reimbursements, delivery certificates, and extradition payments. Aid is reduced by unpaid city or county obligations for public defender office space and utilities.

Probation and parole operations receive funding

For July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026, probation and parole operations receive about $99.91 million, capped at 1,691.31 full-time-equivalent jobs.
