Missouri Revised Statutes Title XIII. Correctional and Penal Institutions § 217.829. Assets to be listed by prisoners on form under oath--failure to comply, effect--department to request assignments

1. The department shall develop a form which shall be used by the department to obtain information from all offenders regarding their assets.

2. The form shall be submitted to each offender as of the date the form is developed and to every offender who thereafter is sentenced to imprisonment under the jurisdiction of the department. The form may be resubmitted to an offender by the department for purposes of obtaining current information regarding assets of the offender.

3. Every offender shall complete the form or provide for completion of the form and the offender shall swear or affirm under oath that to the best of his or her knowledge the information provided is complete and accurate. Any person who shall knowingly provide false information on said form to state officials or employees shall be guilty of the crime of making a false affidavit as provided by section 575.050.

4. Failure by an offender to fully, adequately and correctly complete the form may be considered by the parole board for purposes of a parole determination, and in determining an offender's parole release date or eligibility and shall constitute sufficient grounds for denial of parole.

5. Prior to release of any offender from imprisonment, and again prior to release from the jurisdiction of the department, the department shall request from the offender an assignment of ten percent of any wages, salary, benefits or payments from any source. Such an assignment shall be valid for the longer period of five years from the date of its execution, or five years from the date that the offender is released from the jurisdiction of the department or any of its divisions or agencies. The assignment shall secure payment of the total cost of care of the offender executing the assignment. The restrictions on the maximum amount of earnings subject to garnishment contained in section 525.030 shall apply to earnings subject to assignments executed pursuant to this subsection.
