Because Your Mission is Bigger Than Your Budget
County sheriffs and jail administrators in America today are trying to operate safe and efficient jails
with budgets that are seemingly too thin to bear the weight of their mission.
Many sheriffs and administrators are taking innovative steps to hold down costs and identify new
revenue streams.
For example, most jails today have programs to charge inmates for medical expenses and for damage
to county property. But, few jail facilities are taking full advantage of their legislated right to
maximize the revenue they can recoup from inmates.
