Upon admission to the DOC, an individual restitution account is created for the inmate and the inmate designates the amount of money that will be credited to that account. The DOC, on a quarterly basis, transfers moneys from the account to the court clerk for distribution.
As a condition of parole, parolees are required to make court-ordered restitution payments. Parole officers are responsible for making sure parolees maintain conditions of parole. Parole officers are also responsible for collecting restitution payments from parolees and transferring those payments to the clerk of the court.
Offenders in community corrections facilities are required to maintain full-time employment and turn in their paychecks to be budgeted for restitution. Clients sign a contract in which they agree to pay the full amount of restitution and which indicates the percentage of each paycheck that will go towards that end.
The community corrections facility forwards the payments to the clerk of the court. Judges do not always have the necessary information needed to adequately address the issue of restitution. The victim is to fill out the forms to explain how the crime affected the victim financially, physically, and emotionally. The DA includes the victim impact statement as part of the crime file which eventually goes to the court at sentencing.
In some but not all cases, the victim impact statement is also forwarded to the probation officer who is assigned the task of writing the pre-sentence investigation report.
The pre-sentence investigation report contains a section on victim impact and restitution. In some cases, the victim does not return the victim impact statement in a timely manner or does not return the statement at all and the DA, the court, and the probation department do not have adequate information on which to determine an order of restitution.
In other cases, depending upon the jurisdiction all jurisdictions employ differing processes to accomplish this task , the probation officer may never get a copy of the victim impact statement and so the information on victim impact in the pre-sentence investigation report is lacking. This confuses the entire process because — as the information is lacking- the court does not adequately address the issue of restitution and the Defendant may receive untimely, ambiguous and unfair instructions from the probation department.
Also, in some cases, court personnel have accidentally neglected to put the order of restitution on the mittimus and so probation officers and DOC personnel do not know to collect restitution. In many cases, district attorneys may allow defendants to plead guilty to charges that are lesser than the original charges.
In other cases, more serious charges are dropped for a guaranteed conviction on lesser charges. This also may confuse the Defendant and the Courts. The DA for the 18 th Judicial Districtsummarized the basics for calculating restitution in the following excerpts:.
