Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy James Bailey presented the proposal to Cabarrus County Commissioners during the Oct. 7 agenda work session.

The contract allows for a set daily payment of $65 per inmate, and states that “all ordinary and extraordinary medical costs are covered by Beaufort County.”

Beaufort is also responsible for the transportation of the inmates to and from Cabarrus County.

Bailey told commissioners that Cabarrus currently has the capacity to accommodate the inmates. 

The initial term runs through May 4, 2020.

Commissioners approved the contract unanimously.
