History

Current law allows the director of the Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC) to establish a ACI revolving fund to pay for various expenses. These expenses include in-state travel for ACI employees. Other expenses include the compensation of prisoners and ACI professional and outside services, the construction or reconstruction of facilities and other operating expenses. Monies deposited in the ACI revolving fund derive from the operation of ACI, including monies from the sale of obsolete or unneeded materials, supplies, equipment or property.
