Inmate Fees

Inmate Housing

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 certain expenses incurred while incarcerated.  This law allows for a fee up to $60.00 per day for room and board, plus medical expenses. We currently only charge $45.00 per day.

Booking Fee

Public Act 124 of 2003 allows us to collect a $12.00 booking fee from inmates. This fee is charged to their account at the time of booking.

Miscellaneous

Failure to make payment arrangements within the first 30 days of receipt of an invoice may result in collection activity and/or legal action.

Inmates account balances at release may be applied to fees owed, if applicable.  The balances are the responsibility of the inmate and all accounts are turned over to CELCO, LTD. for payments processing regardless of account status.
