Once the Director determines that restitution voluntarily offered by the offender can be made, the Director shall attempt to negotiate and enter into an agreement with the offender which provides for an assignment to the Department of all wages which the offender earns:
1. To make restitution payments:
(a) To the victims of any crime for which the offender is incarcerated and for which an amount of restitution was set pursuant to NRS 176.033; and
(b) For expenses related to extradition in accordance with NRS 179.225;
2. To reimburse the Department in part for its costs in providing the offender housing, transportation, meals and medical and dental services at the center, if applicable; and
3. For the offender’s own account to the Prisoners' Personal Property Fund.
The agreement must contain a schedule of restitution payments to be made to all victims of crimes for which the offender is incarcerated and for which an amount of restitution was set pursuant to NRS 176.033. The payments may be made subject to such terms as the Director considers advisable.
