Concerning inmate funds.

Summary

The law revises the definitions in Washington’s correctional‑funds statutes, most notably redefining an “indigent inmate” and adding a schedule for automatically raising that dollar limit using the consumer price index. Starting in 2027 the department must post the current indigent amount online and at each facility, and every four years after 2029 the amount will be increased if CPI rises. The changes affect all incarcerated adults and aim to keep the indigent threshold realistic over time.
