Corrections: Gate money needed in Florida; $100 plus bus ticket; Need vs actually get

 The gate money provided by State prisons to released inmates ranges from $0 to $200, with an average gate money sum of $54. Idaho gives 0 money but provides appropriate clothing for current weather, a bus ticket on occasion, brown bag lunch. Alabama gives $10, clothes, appropriate to the weather, and a bus ticket to their county of conviction. CA gives $200 but parolee must purchase clothes and bus ticket from it. Georgia, inmates receive $25 and a bus ticket.  California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) institution or reentry facility are entitled to $200 upon release. It is the parole agent who is responsible for giving out these funds, yet agents do not need to grant their parolees the entire sum immediately. Instead, agents may distribute the $200 in installments over a period of 60 days following release. Remember, parolee in CA must pay for street clothes and bus fare out of this gate money. 


Assume an inmate was going to be released into your community. How much gate money do you think he/she should receive while he/she becomes self-reliant?


Florida’s gate money for prisoners is $100 and a one-way bus ticket within the state. Gate money is a small amount of cash that many states give prisoners when they leave prison, usually enough for a meal and bus fare. However, some say that the money is not enough to cover basic needs, and that they have to choose between food and practical items like clothing or cell phones.
