SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Corrections; payment of costs by local inmates. Allows local sheriffs and jail superintendents to establish a program under which they would charge each inmate in their facility a reasonable fee, not to exceed $1 per day, to defray the costs of his keep. The Board of Corrections would develop a model plan and adopt regulations to govern such a program. The funds generated would stay with the locality where collected to be used for general jail purposes.
