Some Dale County officials are hoping a medical contracting service will help curb medical expenses of inmates in the Dale County Jail.

While Dale County commissioners had yet to vote to contract out the jail’s medical services from the $70,000 budget line the upcoming fiscal year, some commissioners said they would at least consider the change for next fiscal year in order to keep down expenses.

Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson said an estimated $76,000 had been spent on the medical care of inmates this year.

“That money does not even include the salary or the overtime of the deputies who transport the inmates back and forth or who sit at the hospitals and the doctors’ offices with the inmates,” Olson said.

“A contract service would keep some of those expenses at bay and would free up the deputies from having to make those runs as much.”

Olson said he already presented one proposal to the commission that is an estimated $80,000 and will include an on-staff doctor, nurse, dental plan and a portable x-ray machine.

Dale County Commissioner Gerald Harden said longterm savings would be what determined whether to have contract service.

“You have to think about every angle. Right now we haven’t gotten that far,” he said.
