The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office lost track of at least $500,000 worth of items from the jail commissary, where inmates purchase items such as snacks, hygiene products and telephone calling cards, a recent investigation found.
CLEVELAND, Ohio –
The county quietly took action to correct the issue Tuesday by transferring control of the $2 million commissary fund from the sheriff’s fiscal office to the county’s fiscal office, where it will have greater oversight. All revenue from commissary sales is meant to help the jail maintain its stock or make other improvements for inmates. Specifically, profits can only be used to purchase supplies and equipment, provide life skills training or other education benefits for persons incarcerated, to pay salaries and benefits for the employees who work in commissary or to purchase technology meant to prevent contraband from entering the jail, according to the Ohio Revised Code.
