Who shall maintain a record on each inmate, including any receipts and expenditures of inmate accounts?

The sheriff or operator is responsible for maintaining a record on each inmate, including tracking any receipts and expenditures of inmate accounts. This role is crucial as it ensures accurate financial accountability and oversight of all financial transactions related to inmate accounts. Such records are essential for transparency and can also be important for addressing any disputes or inquiries regarding an inmate’s financial activities while in detention. This responsibility underscores the sheriff's or operator's overarching management of the facility, ensuring that legal and administrative standards are met for inmate financial records.

In contrast, while the warden, corrections officer, and detention staff play vital roles in the operation and management of the facility, it is the sheriff or operator who has the specific duty of overseeing the maintenance of inmate financial records within the detention center. This delineation of responsibilities helps maintain order and accountability in financial matters involving inmates.
