State v. Morris
Annotate this CasePetitioner, a prison inmate, was ordered to pay restitution as part of his sentence and was required to pay fifteen percent of his income to his institutional account as restitution. When Petitioner began working for a private employer he petitioned the district court to modify the restitution plan to allow him to pay fifty percent of his earnings as restitution. The district court initially granted the request but then rescinded its prior order, concluding that the modified restitution order violated the state statutory scheme for the distribution of inmate earnings from private-sector employment. The Supreme Court reversed the district court decision to rescind the modified restitution order, holding that the amended restitution order was not contrary to the governing statutory scheme.
