This makes no sense to me.

Oregon: Only rarely uses a state law to recover the costs of imprisoning inmates, estimated at $85 a day or $31,000 a year.
Oregon also doesn't routinely dip into inmate accounts -- money they have to buy incidentals, such as snacks -- to pay off restitution.
That makes cross-referencing PERS rolls (covering about 118,000 retirees) with a roster of state inmates (currently about 14,000) a nearly impossible task

14,000 times $31,000 a year. $434M. Federal poverty line for a single person is ~$11,000. But serial child molesters have to buy snacks, so they can't pay court-ordered restitution costs. :smh:

My thinking was that since he is in prison his PERS should go to help the victim.
