How much is the per diem charged to other facilities for boarding detainees?
Our normal per diem charge is $55.00 and we have plans in place to begin increasing these charges over the next couple of years. We will however enter into “preferred status contracts” with other facilities. Those facilities that can guarantee a minimum number of boarders for a period of time to exceed 30 days can be offered a per diem as low as $50.00 depending on that number. Revenues collected for boarding detainees since opening have varied somewhat but have generally exceeded budget predictions.
