The cost of meals at the Richland County Jail are going up due to inflation.
RichlandSource.com reports, the County Commissioners have approved a one year renewal with the Trinity Services Group to provide meals for inmates, which will see the cost jump nearly 6%.
The estimate is around 625 meals per day, which would cost the county close to $427,000. The Richland County Jail this week has 160 inmates, which is down from just over 190 each of the past few months.
