Section 9. All sums credited to a prisoner, other than so much thereof as may be paid to a dependent or dependents of the prisoner, shall be for the benefit of such prisoner, under the rules and regulations of the board of inspectors or the board of managers of the institution of which said prisoner is an inmate, and paid to the prisoner on his or her discharge. Prisoners who have sums to their credit may, subject to the rules and regulations of their respective institution and to the payment of the portion of their wages to their dependents, draw upon the same for present needs.
