person has a history of disruptive behavior that has placed | ||
others in potentially harmful situations or presents a | ||
substantial risk of inflicting physical harm on himself or | ||
herself or others as evidenced by recent behavior; or (iii) |
there is a well-founded belief that the committed person | ||
presents a substantial risk of flight. Any restraints used on | ||

shall not be used on the committed person as provided in this | ||
paragraph if medical personnel determine that the restraints | ||
would impede medical treatment. Under no circumstances may leg | ||

reimbursement for medical expenses. The Warden of the jail | ||
shall furnish necessary bedding, clothing, fuel, and medical | ||
services for all committed persons prisoners under his charge, | ||
and keep an accurate account of the same. When services that | ||
result in qualified medical expenses are required by any | ||
person held in custody, the county, private hospital, | ||
physician or any public agency which provides such services | ||
shall be entitled to obtain reimbursement from the county for | ||
the cost of such services. The county board of a county may | ||
adopt an ordinance or resolution providing for reimbursement | ||
for the cost of those services at the Department of Healthcare | ||
and Family Services' rates for medical assistance. To the | ||
extent that such person is reasonably able to pay for such | ||
care, including reimbursement from any insurance program or | ||
from other medical benefit programs available to such person, | ||
he or she shall reimburse the county or arresting authority. | ||
If such person has already been determined eligible for | ||
medical assistance under the Illinois Public Aid Code at the | ||
time the person is detained, the cost of such services, to the | ||
extent such cost exceeds $500, shall be reimbursed by the | ||
Department of Healthcare and Family Services under that Code. | ||
A reimbursement under any public or private program authorized | ||
by this Section shall be paid to the county or arresting | ||
authority to the same extent as would have been obtained had |
the services been rendered in a non-custodial environment. | ||
The sheriff or his or her designee may cause an | ||
application for medical assistance under the Illinois Public | ||
Aid Code to be completed for an arrestee who is a hospital | ||
inpatient. If such arrestee is determined eligible, he or she | ||
shall receive medical assistance under the Code for hospital | ||
inpatient services only. An arresting authority shall be | ||
responsible for any qualified medical expenses relating to the | ||
arrestee until such time as the arrestee is placed in the | ||
custody of the sheriff. However, the arresting authority shall | ||
not be so responsible if the arrest was made pursuant to a | ||
request by the sheriff. When medical expenses are required by | ||
any person held in custody, the county shall be entitled to | ||
obtain reimbursement from the County Jail Medical Costs Fund | ||
to the extent moneys are available from the Fund. To the extent | ||
that the person is reasonably able to pay for that care, | ||
including reimbursement from any insurance program or from | ||
other medical benefit programs available to the person, he or | ||
she shall reimburse the county. | ||
For the purposes of this Section, "arresting authority" | ||
means a unit of local government, other than a county, which | ||
employs peace officers and whose peace officers have made the | ||
arrest of a person. For the purposes of this Section, | ||
"qualified medical expenses" include medical and hospital | ||
services but do not include (i) expenses incurred for medical | ||
care or treatment provided to a person on account of a |
self-inflicted injury incurred prior to or in the course of an | ||
arrest, (ii) expenses incurred for medical care or treatment | ||
provided to a person on account of a health condition of that | ||
person which existed prior to the time of his or her arrest, or | ||
(iii) expenses for hospital inpatient services for arrestees | ||
enrolled for medical assistance under the Illinois Public Aid | ||
Code. | ||

(a) The cost and expense of keeping, maintaining and | ||
furnishing the jail of each county, and of keeping and | ||
maintaining the committed person prisoner thereof, except as | ||
otherwise provided by law, shall be paid from the county | ||
treasury, the account therefor being first settled and allowed | ||
by the county board. | ||
The county board may require convicted persons confined in | ||
its jail to reimburse the county for the expenses incurred by | ||
their incarceration to the extent of their ability to pay for | ||
such expenses. The warden of the jail shall establish by | ||
regulation criteria for a reasonable deduction from money | ||
credited to any account of an inmate to defray the costs to the | ||
county for an inmate's medical care. The State's Attorney of | ||
the county in which such jail is located may, if requested by |
the County Board, institute civil actions in the circuit court | ||
of the county in which the jail is located to recover from such | ||
convicted confined persons the expenses incurred by their | ||
confinement. The funds recovered shall be paid into the county | ||
treasury. | ||
(a-5) Upon notification from the Clerk of the Circuit | ||
Court of an outstanding fine, restitution, or costs imposed by | ||
the court on a jail inmate, the warden of the jail may, at any | ||
time prior to release of the inmate, deduct from money | ||
credited to any account of the inmate an amount to pay or | ||
reduce the outstanding balance. The warden of the jail shall | ||
establish by regulation criteria for deduction from money | ||
credited to any account of an inmate to pay or reduce the | ||
amount outstanding on a fine, restitution, or costs imposed by | ||
the court on the inmate. The regulation shall comply with any | ||
withholding restrictions otherwise provided by law. The inmate | ||
shall be provided with written notice of the amount of any | ||
deduction. There shall also be prominent notice by signage at | ||
any location where the warden of the jail or jail employees | ||
receive funds for deposit into an inmate's account, that funds | ||
in an inmate's account may be used to pay fines, restitution, | ||
or costs imposed on the inmate by a court. Any person providing | ||
funds for an inmate's account shall be notified in writing | ||
when the funds are provided, that funds in an inmate's account | ||
may be used to pay fines, restitution, or costs imposed on the | ||
inmate by a court. |
(b) When a committed person prisoner is released from the | ||
county jail after the completion of his or her sentence and has | ||
money credited to his or her account in the commissary fund, | ||
the sheriff or a person acting on the authority of the sheriff | ||
must mail a check in the amount credited to the committed | ||
person's prisoner's account to the committed person's | ||
prisoner's last known address. If after 30 days from the date | ||
of mailing of the check, the check is returned undelivered, | ||
the sheriff must transmit the amount of the check to the county | ||
treasurer for deposit into the commissary fund. Nothing in | ||
this subsection (b) constitutes a forfeiture of the committed | ||
person's prisoner's right to claim the money accredited to his | ||
or her account after the 30-day period. | ||

Sec. 21. Whenever a committed person prisoner is committed | ||
to the jail of one county for a criminal offense committed or | ||
charged to have been committed in another, or is transferred | ||
to another county for safekeeping or trial, the county in | ||
which the crime was committed, or charged to have been | ||
committed, shall pay the expenses of the keeping of such | ||
committed person prisoner . In civil suits, the plaintiff or | ||
defendant shall pay the expenses, in the same manner as if the | ||
imprisonment had taken place in the same county where the suit | ||
was commenced. |
The County Board of the county in which the crime was | ||
committed, may require convicted committed persons prisoners | ||
transferred from such county to reimburse the county for the | ||
expenses incurred by their incarceration to the extent of | ||
their ability to pay for such expenses. The State's Attorney | ||
of the county which incurred the expenses, if authorized by | ||
the County Board, may institute civil actions in the circuit | ||
court of such county to recover from such convicted confined | ||
persons the expenses incurred by their confinement. Such | ||
expenses recovered shall be paid into the county treasury. | ||
