Yes. A variety of fees may be charged to an inmate’s / detainee’s account – most are dependent upon the needs of the inmate / detainee.

Fees charged to the inmate account:
  • Booking fee: $10 (fee set and required by county ordinance)
  • Haircuts fee: vary dependent upon services requested
  • Letters of Incarceration: $10 (fee set and required by county ordinance)

  • Initial assessments / physicals: no cost

No medical services are withheld based on an inmate’s / detainee’s inability to pay. In those cases of indigence, a running tabulation of expenses incurred as a result of medical or dental care or prescription services provided will be maintain by the St. Charles County Department of Corrections (SCCDOC) for future reimbursement as the inmate’s / detainee’s funds become available.
