Clearfield Co. Inmate Costs 7:00 pm Clearfield County signed a contract with the County Commissioner’s Association of PA’s Prison Inmate Medical Cost containment service in an effort to lower the cost of inmates’ medical bills. “I have to give the warden some credit on this, he was not satisfied with some of the bills we were seeing particularly one very large bill,” said Dave Glass, Clearfield County Commissioner. This contract comes after an inmate at the Clearfield County Jail was taken to a hospital in Altoona for an unexpected medical procedure. Glass said this medical bill could have cost the county $50,000 but thanks to this contract, the county saved $30,000.
