“Doing Time Is Money”

Across the country, more city and county jails are instituting a fee for jail costs for those convicted. The fee can be anywhere from $1 to $60, depending on the location, view, and spa services.

Dollar amounts vary, but serve the dual purpose as additional deterrent and aid to offset jail costs. In all cases, the per diem fee does not include the recommended 15% gratuity.
