restitution to victims. In order to receive restitution, the Judgment of
Conviction provided by the Court must order restitution to be paid. If an
inmate in custody has funds available for restitution payments, a check will be
forwarded by the Department of Corrections to the Department of Public Safety Accounting Division for distribution to the victim. Inmate
banking information is confidential by law and cannot be discussed.
