No. Generally they are released with the clothes they entered with, the clothes they may have purchased to wear for visits while incarcerated, or are issued ill fitting Khakis or other institutional clothes. No funds are issued. If the inmate has no family or friends to pick him up from the correctional institution, the DOC will, if notified in time, issue a bus ticket and escort the inmate--still in chains--to the bus station.
Actually for California, inmates do get cash "Gate Money", they get so much money for each day they were incarcerated. My ex-husband was in prison, when he was released after serving 3 or 4 months he was given about $80 or $90 when he was released. Also, they didn't keep the clothes he was wearing when he was arrested. He said they trash it, I had to send him "Dress Outs", which is basically whatever clothes he wants to wear when he's released so long as it is approved by the prison.
**Note**: Each state will have a different policy as is evidenced by the comment about the CA penal system. Idaho allows inmates to earn a little cash while in prison depending upon their custody level. It isn't very much: the hourly wage ranges from .15 cents/hr for janitorial work in state-owned buildings to as much as 1.00/hr for wildfire fighting in the rangelands and forests. The inmate (if smart) can sock away a nice little nest egg by the time he hits the gate. Nevertheless, the state does NOT pay them "gate money". That is a stupid policy IMO.
