(§ 53.1-133.5)

A. Any county, city or town that implements a jail industry program shall
authorize the sheriff, jail superintendent or his designee to establish a
separate fund for the operation of the program. This fund may be a special
revenue fund with continuing authority to receive income and pay expenses
associated with the jail industry program. The county, city, or regional jail
authority shall audit the jail industry&#8217;s special revenue fund on an
annual basis.

B. The sheriff or jail superintendent shall purchase at prices as low as
reasonably possible all materials or other items used in the jail industry
program as may be necessary. Invoices or itemized statements of account from
each vendor of such materials and other items shall be obtained by the sheriff
or jail superintendent and presented to the governing body of the county or city
or, in the case of a regional jail or jail farm, the regional jail authority or,
if none, that body responsible for the fiscal management of the regional jail or
jail farm. The local governing body may require all such purchases to be made
pursuant to local purchasing regulations.
