The Alabama Senate on Tuesday approved a bill aiming to stop sheriffs from pocketing excess food funds.

The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Arthur Orr, R-Decatur, passed 31-0. It would end the current practice of providing funds to feed prisoners directly to sheriffs, and put it in a new Prisoner Feeding Fund. Money in the fund could only go to feeding prisoners. Some excess money at the end of a fiscal year could go to equipment and operations, but not salaries.

The bill also increases the current daily food allowance from $1.75 a day to $2.25 per day, with an annual adjustment each year starting in 2021.
