The Administration may also use the resources of said Fund to reimburse, in whole or in part, the expenses incurred by the Administration or the Government of Puerto Rico, for violations of the laws, rules and regulations committed by the members of the corrections population that are applicable to them, during the custody or confinement period.
The Administrator may accept and receive [on] behalf of the Government of Puerto Rico, any goods and products donated free of charge, to be used in the operation of the stores. This includes promotional goods and products for purchase which shall be accountable and accepted pursuant to the established norms. The debts and obligations of privatized stores shall not constitute debts or obligations of the Government of Puerto Rico.
