FISCAL YEAR 2011-2012 ADOPTED BUDGET

The adopted consolidated budget for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 is $2,990,000. The funding comes entirely from Revenue from Internal Sources. Operational Expenses reflect a reduction of $987,000 in comparison with the funding allocated for Fiscal Year 2010-2011. This is because no federal funds were assigned for this fiscal year.

Revenue from Internal Sources is generated via the sales of products and services created by inmates during their training workshops and jobs. Among the articles that are produced and sold to governmental agencies and the general public are: office furniture, beds, school desks, courtroom benches, wall mounted writing marker boards and computer tables. They also offer carpentry services, welding, sowing, mechanic, design and manufacture of made-to-order furniture, among others.
