Deputy Commissioner Nell McCarty provides information on the number of unclaimed commissary accounts and the annual amount of unclaimed funds in NYC jails.

There are approximately 100,076,719 unclaimed accounts from 2007 to present.
Annually, about $200,000 remains unclaimed by individuals who have not picked up their funds.
The large number of accounts sparked confusion, leading to clarification that it refers to accounts, not people or dollars.

We do report on, the number of individuals who don't, claim their commissary funds on an annual basis.

0:51:00

Mhmm.

0:51:00

So we do know that and this is a a stretch of time, that there are about 100,076, 719.

0:51:11

I I hope I said that, right.

0:51:13

But this is from, like, I believe, 2007 to present.

Now when we're talking

Wait.

Nell McCarty

No.

0:51:20

Accounts.

Wow.

Diana I. Ayala

0:51:22

Accounts.

0:51:23

From 2,007?

Nell McCarty

0:51:25

From 2,007 to present.

0:51:26

But then, just to let me confirm that I'm giving you the accurate breakdown, which it's not right there.

0:51:38

But what I do know is that on an annual basis, it looks like about $200,000 that are unclaimed funds, for the individuals that are, that have not picked up their funds.

0:51:51

But I'm sorry.

0:51:52

One sec give me one second to Yes.

0:51:53

Get you the exact number.
