BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

     Sec. 1.  RCW 72.09.110 and 1989 c 185 s 9 are each amended to read as follows:

     All inmates working in prison industries shall participate in the cost of corrections, including costs to develop and implement correctional industries programs.  The secretary shall develop a formula which can be used to determine the extent to which the wages of these inmates will be deducted for this purpose.  The amount so deducted shall be placed in the general fund and shall be a reasonable amount which will not unduly discourage the incentive to work.  The secretary may direct the state treasurer to deposit a portion of these moneys in the crime victims compensation account.  Except the secretary shall direct all moneys received by an inmate, for testifying in any judicial  proceeding, go into the crime victims compensation account.

     When the secretary finds it appropriate and not unduly destructive of the work incentive, the secretary shall also provide deductions for restitution, savings, and family support.
