To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Maryland Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Related to Maryland Code §11-801, which permits counties to impose fees on "weekend incarcerated individuals"; specifically:
1. The per diem rate, or daily charge, of the weekend incarceration fee imposed in the county detention/correctional facility both currently and in FY23.
2. The daily “average cost of providing food, lodging, and clothing for an incarcerated individual” in the county detention/correctional facility used to calculate the weekend incarceration fee in FY23.
3. The total number of individuals charged the weekend incarceration fee in the county detention/correctional facility in FY23.
4. The total amount of fees collected from weekend incarcerated individuals in the county detention/correctional facility in FY23.
5. All policies and procedures regarding the imposition and collection of the weekend incarceration fee, including but not limited to guidelines on how these fees are determined and collected in the county detention/correctional facility.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 calendar days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Kelly Stevenson
