History
Under current law, the Director of the Department of Corrections (DOC) is required to

Director is permitted to withdraw anywhere from 20% to 50%, of the monies available in the
prisoner's spendable account each month, for this purpose (A.R.S. §§ 13-603, 31-230).
Provisions

account to pay restitution, to withdraw more than the minimum 20% of available monies
if so ordered by the court. (Sec. 1)
