Sheriffs seek wage garnishment to cover jail board costs
Iowa sheriffs push to garnish wages of former prisoners who owe jail board fees, potentially raising up to 1 million dollars statewide. Linn County prosecutors report 593,665 dollars owed by 721 former inmates, with average debts around 82 dollars. Sheriffs seek legislative change to allow wage garnishment, arguing many offenders have jobs and assets. Law sponsors are open, noting the move would reduce court costs.
