and may assign such jail employees and prisoners to operate the canteen as
are necessary for efficient operation.
All profits from the canteen shall be used for the benefit and to enhance the
well-being of the prisoners. The jailer shall keep books of accounts of all
receipts and disbursements from the canteen and shall annually report to the
county treasurer on the canteen account.
Allowable expenditures from a canteen account shall include but not be limited
to recreational, vocational, and medical purposes.
Except in counties containing an urban-county government or a consolidated

100 to 199 prisoners
2,000
(d)

For purposes of calculating the amount to be transferred to the jail canteen
account, the average daily number of inmates shall be equal to the average
daily inmate population of the jail in the immediately preceding fiscal year.
