of such State institutions shall be expended for the special comfort,
pleasure and amusement of the residents of the particular institution where

unauthorized absence from institutions described under this Section, in
custody of officers thereof, may, if unclaimed by the resident or the legal
representatives thereof for a period of two years, be expended at the
