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.

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.
