INMATE BILLING - Public Act No. 118 of 1984 allows
County Board of Commissioners to seek reimbursement for any expenses
incurred in relation to the charges for which a person is sentenced
including period of pre-trial detention to the Jail. The Sheriff
Department begins billing inmates immediately upon sentencing.
Inmates are required to reimburse the County of Livingston for any and
all expenses incurred while incarcerated. This law allows for a fee of
up to $60.00 per day for room and board, plus medical expense. You may
be eligible for a discount if payment in full is received within 30 days
of release.
Failure to make payment arrangements within the first thirty (30) days
of receipt of an invoice may result in legal action.
PERSONAL PROPERTY - If sentenced to prison, an inmate’s
personal property may be released to a family member Monday thru Friday,
between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Unclaimed property will be
discarded after 90 days.
COURT ATTIRE - Inmates are permitted to wear their own
clothing if they are to appear in court for a jury selection or jury
trial. Arrangements to have clothing delivered (and picked up following
a trial) must be initiated by the inmate.
