In Ohio, the "pay-to-stay" law allows counties to bill inmates for their incarceration costs. If you served time for both a felony and a misdemeanor, they might charge you separately for each conviction period.
- Felony charges result in one billing.
- Misdemeanor charges can incur additional billing.
