Commission approves nearly $3 million for PSD projects

County commissioners are bracing for an increase in their jail bills on July 1 even as they work with local officials and plea with state lawmakers for relief

An already unpredictable and sizeable cost for county taxpayers in West Virginia is about to take up even more of county budgets. The daily rate to incarcerate an inmate in one of the state’s 10 regional jails increases by almost 14% on July 1. County commissioners throughout the state learned in the spring the Legislature would not act to keep a cap on the daily rate, commonly referred to as the per diem rate, established in a 2018 law. Come July 1, the daily incarceration rate will increase from $48.25 to $54.88, based on the most recent calculations by the State Budget Office. “I don’t know how some of these counties are going to survive this situation,” said Logan County Commission President Danny Godby. “It’s gotten to be a point to where all you’re going to be able to do is keep the offices open and not provide any activity for the general public . I don’t know what’s going to happen.”
