The confiscated money will then be forwarded, within a reasonable time, to the sender, if known. If the sender is not known after a reasonable effort, the money is to be disposed of on application to and order of any court having jurisdiction over the institution for deposit in the inmate's industrial and entertainment fund if not required as evidence in a criminal prosecution or rules infraction board proceeding. When the confiscated money is no longer required as evidence, the court application process should be initiated.
