Prisoner Reimbursement
Please be advised pursuant to
Ohio Revised Code 341.06, sentenced prisoners will be required to reimburse
Preble County for any expenses incurred by reason of your confinement in
this facility. Expenses may include but are not limited to a room and
board fee, which will be on a sliding scale and not exceed $60.00 a day,
actual charges for requested medical and dental treatment and for any
property damaged by you while you are confined to this jail.
You will be provided a form so
that your ability to pay the above mentioned fees might be determined.
Therefore you are required to complete a Financial History Form and
return it to the Reimbursement Office immediately. This form can be sent
via inter-jail mail (given to a Correction Officer), if you are currently
incarcerated or mailed to the address listed below. Failure to fill out
this form, or being dishonest in filling it out, will result in the
Reimbursement Coordinator setting a room and board fee for you.
Once you become sentenced, you
will be charged for every day that you are housed in The Preble County
Jail, from the day you were sentenced (not including pre-trial).
According to the Preble County Jail policy, your daily room and board
fee may be based on your ability to pay and in most cases it will be
twice your hourly rate and cannot exceed $52.00 a day. The room and board
fee will not be deducted from your inmate account while you are
incarcerated. However, requested medical and dental treatment will be.
You will be notified prior to
your release of your financial obligation or you will receive a billing
statement after you are released from the Reimbursement Office. If there
are any problems with your account, or if you would like further
information, please refer to the telephone number indicated on the
billing statement. We are willing to work with you in coming up with a
repayment plan that is affordable (or a cash settlement if appropriate).
Lastly, if you make NO effort to pay this obligation, your account may be
turned over to a collection agency or pursued in a court at a higher cost
to you. For further information, direct all correspondence to:

As of January 6, 1998 any
inmate who provides false information or fails to provide information to complete
the Financial History Form shall be charged at a daily rate of $32.00. If
you have already been interviewed and refused information, and gave false
information, you may fill out a request form to meet with the
Reimbursement Coordinator to correct this matter. If you still refuse,
the rate of $32.00 will be your daily rate.
