Which term refers to money given to qualified inmates discharged from the custody of the Department of Corrections in accordance with 33-601.502, F.A.C.?

• A. Counseling
• B. Courtesy
• C. Discharge Gratuity
• D. Disciplinary confinement

Answer: (C)

The main idea is a specific monetary benefit provided to qualified inmates at the moment of release from custody. This money, defined in 33-601.502, F.A.C., is called discharge gratuity. It’s a financial amount intended to help with the transition back into the community, not a service or a punishment. Counseling refers to supportive services to assist reintegration, not a payment; courtesy is a social or administrative gesture, not a funded benefit; and disciplinary confinement is a penalty for rule violations. So, the money given to qualified inmates upon discharge is discharge gratuity.
