BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: September 15, 2009: The Baldwin County Commission approved an agreement between the Baldwin County Commission and the Baldwin County Sheriff wherein, the Sheriff of Baldwin County and the Baldwin County Commission mutually agreed to the sharing of $40.00 per diem per Federal prisoner as provided in the contract from the U.S. Marshals Service in the following manner:
1) $24.00 per day per federal prisoner to the County Commission
2) $16.00 per day per federal prisoner to the Sheriff
The agreement became effective October 1, 2009 and remained in effect until rate changes or either party requested renegotiation.
Background: The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office has had a long-standing agreement with the Baldwin County Commission for the sharing of the Federal Prisoners Housing Per Diem funds that the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office receives from Federal agencies who house inmates in the Corrections Center. The current daily rate is $40.00 as per the agreement signed during the September 15, 2009, Baldwin County Commission Meeting which became effective October 1, 2009. The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office has renegotiated this rate with the U.S. Marshals Service. The new per diem rate of $62.00 went into effect November 1, 2020.
The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office has requested that the agreement between the Baldwin County Sheriff and the Baldwin County Commission be amended to reflect the new per diem amount.
