pro per legal services.
Under the current agreement with Canteen Correctional Services, Inc., the Inmate Welfare
Fund receives 40% of the revenue generated through commissary sales. The new agreement
will increase the percentages from 42% in the first year to 45% in the fifth year. The
estimated increase in revenue to the Inmate Welfare Fund is $255,000 over five years.

specifically for Contra Costa County. This technology has significantly reduced Sheriff's
Office overhead costs in administering inmate accounts.
