24-11-45. Prisoner liable for costs of confinement--Waiver. A prisoner confined to any jail while serving a sentence is liable for the cost of the prisoner's confinement including room and board charges; medical, dental, optometric, and psychiatric services charges; vocational education training; and chemical dependency treatment charges. If, after considering the prisoner's net income, net worth, number of dependents, and any existing obligations, the judge who sentenced the prisoner to jail determines that the prisoner is unable to pay, the judge may waive all or part of the payment for the costs of the inmate's confinement.
