ICE detainees worth millions to Worcester

It’s no secret, but it might not be common knowledge that Worcester is among the Maryland counties that has been housing Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees at its jail since 1998.

It’s also known that the county is paid for this service, and the current rate is $87.11 per day, per inmate.

What most people probably don’t know, however, is how that money adds up. Since 2012, the county has brought in more than $42 million by housing these federal detainees.

Currently, there are 151 detainees at the Worcester County Jail, and that translates into almost $13,200 per day in revenue.

It might pay Wocester county but it's with your money. I can stay at a motel 6 and eat 3 meals at a cheap restraunt for less than $87 a day.

Yeah but all the things they get cost far more than $87 a day!!!! County buys there TV's, gym equipment, clothes, washing, drying, medical not to mention the guards salaries.....$87 is ridiculous!! Send them back to Guatemala or wherever they came from!

Its TAX MONEY! Someone who works hard was forced by "law" to pay for a criminal! Get it through your thick heads that NO government agency exists without taking money from you that you work for!

I did some work there and saw them RELEASE illegals. They handed them their belongings and opened the door and out they went. No one was there to receive them. What do they do? Get paid for them and then just release them? I wondered at the time what the heck they were doing.
