How courts have described this case

• rejecting an Ex Post Facto challenge to an offender fee statute because, under the Halper punishment test, the program bears a “rational relation to the goal of compensating the. [State] for its loss”
• Rhode Island’s probation supervision fee was civil in nature and did not violate the Ex Post Facto Clause
• $15 per month offender fee was not punishment because it comprised no part of any sentence imposed for crimes committed by inmates and was assessed without regard to nature or severity of inmates’ respective offenses
• $15.00 monthly supervision fee was civil, not criminal, in nature
