The Board of Supervisors hereby determines that an application fee in the sum of $43 chargeable to each participant in the program is necessary to defray costs to the County resulting from the application process. In addition, the Board of Supervisors determines that $20 is a reasonable per inmate per day administrative fee to be charged each participant of this program and that such fee does not exceed the pro rata cost of administration. The fees established in this section may be increased or decreased by the Board of Supervisors, by resolution, from time to time after the Board considers those factors affecting the fees such as increases in County employee salaries, costs of supervision, clothing for participants, and transportation.
(SCC 705 § 2, 1987; SCC 0789, § 1, 1990; SCC 1047, § 1, 1996)
A. 
The Sheriff or designee shall collect all moneys chargeable to the labor-in-lieu prisoner for the prisoner's pro rata share of the costs of administration pursuant to Penal Code Section 4024.2(e) and shall transmit those moneys on a monthly basis to the County Treasurer for deposit into the general fund. Before a prisoner shall be admitted to the labor-in-lieu program, the prisoner shall either pay his or her pro rata share of the costs of administration to the Sheriff or designee or be interviewed by the Sheriff or designee to determine his or her ability to pay such administrative fee. A prisoner's inability to pay such administrative fee shall not be a bar to his or her participation in the labor-in-lieu program.
B. 
The Sheriff shall be authorized to return a prisoner to custody for nonpayment and/or delinquent payment of the fees authorized by Section 2.90.310; provided, however, that the labor-in-lieu prisoner's nonpayment and/or delinquent payment of those fees is not due to his or her inability to pay. As a condition for participation in the labor-in-lieu program, the Sheriff may require a prisoner to agree in writing that he or she may be returned to custody for nonpayment and/or delinquent payment of fees for reasons other than an inability to pay. Prior to returning a labor-in-lieu prisoner to custody for nonpayment and/or delinquent payment of those fees, the Sheriff or designee shall interview the prisoner to determine his or her current ability to pay said fees. The Sheriff or designee shall develop procedures and criteria for determining a labor-in-lieu prisoner's ability to pay the fees authorized by Section 2.90.310.
