W2B: 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.
