PIMCC representative cites $126,548 in outpatient savings from jail health program
Summary
A PIMCC representative told the Warren County Board of Inspectors on April 28 that a program serving inmates saved $126,548.06 in outpatient costs and $33,657.49 in inpatient costs from Oct. 2025 through Mar. 2026; she also reviewed a drug-return program and said addiction is treated as a disability that requires continued medication.
Julia, identified as a representative of PIMCC, told the Warren County Board of Inspectors on April 28 that a jail health program produced measurable savings from October 2025 through March 2026. “The total outpatient savings as $126,548.06, and the inpatient savings were $33,657.49,” she said.
Julia reviewed a drug-return program run through Diamond and described how the program operates within the jail. She said that it has been determined that “drug addiction/abuse is a disability and therefore, if an inmate comes in taking a drug, we are required to continue medication.” The presentation was given during the public comments/special presentations portion of the April 28 meeting.
The board did not take an immediate vote on program changes; the presentation was received for the record. No additional speakers challenged the savings figures or the disability/medication statement during the meeting.
