The Local Jail Support program consists of five funds used to assist counties in local jail operations: Local Jail Allotment, Restricted Medical Allotment, Jailer's Allowance, Local Corrections Assistance Fund and Catastrophic Medical. These programs were part of the Jail Reform package passed in the 1982 and 1984 Regular Sessions of the General Assembly.
The Local Jail Allotment, pursuant to KRS 441.206, was established for the care and maintenance of prisoners charged with or convicted of violations of state law. Funds appropriated for the Jail Allotment and Restricted Medical programs are distributed to each county based upon the formula in KRS 441.206.
The Jailer's Allowance program, pursuant to KRS 441.115, trains jailers and jail personnel. No fee is charged for this training. Three hundred dollars ($300) per month is paid to jailers to help defray the costs of participation in this training program. Expense allowance payments are discontinued if the jailer fails to satisfactorily complete annual continuing training.
The Catastrophic Medical program, pursuant to KRS 441.045, provides funds that assist counties with costs of providing necessary medical, dental, or psychological care beyond routine care and diagnostic services. When the cost of providing such services exceeds $1,000, the county is reimbursed. Initial reimbursements are limited by the maximum payments allowed for services under the Kentucky Medical Assistance Program.
