The Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday asked County Council for nearly $25 million to cover medical costs in the jail through the end of the year, and the department is expected to seek another $15 million to cover additional medical services performed offsite and other jail operations.
CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office needs nearly $27 million to provide medical services for inmates in the jail through January 2025 and is projected to need another $13 million by the end of the year to cover other operational costs, particularly in overtime, members of council’s Public Safety and Justice Affairs Committee learned on Tuesday.
The “sticker shock” irked committee Chair Michael Gallagher and other members, who called for more accountability over MetroHealth Hospital’s rising costs, an itemized list of the services it is providing and how often inmates must be transported out of the jail for care. MetroHealth has provided all medical care in the jail since 2019.
