Code Ann. § 99-37-15","heading":"Resumption of payment upon release from custody.","body":"Whenever an offender in the custody of the Department of Corrections is paroled, placed on earned probation or other form of release, and when such offender has been sentenced to make restitution pursuant to Section 99-37-3 but with respect to whom payment of all or a portion of the restitution was suspended until his release from confinement, the making of restitution shall be a condition of the offender’s release. The commissioner of corrections shall establish a schedule by which payment of the restitution may be resumed. In fixing the schedule and supervising the released offender’s performance thereunder, the commissioner shall consider the factors specified in subsection (2) of Section 99-37-3. The commissioner shall provide to the sentencing court a copy of the schedule and any modifications thereof. Such offenders shall make restitution payments directly to the victim.\nAs an alternative to a contempt proceeding under Sections 99-37-7 through 99-37-13, the intentional refusal to obey the restitution order or a failure by an offender to make a good faith effort to make such restitution may be considered a violation of an offender’s release and may be cause for revocation of his parole, earned probation or other form of release.","path":["Title 99.
