State pays sheriffs for prison transport

Beginning November 1, 2026, county sheriffs must take people sentenced to state prison to DOC reception centers. The law names Lexington Assessment and Reception Center and Mabel Bassett, or another site the DOC Director chooses. DOC must reimburse the agency for mileage and pay up to $30 per hour per officer for travel and time at the center. Reimbursement applies only when the sentence is not served in a county jail and the person is not housed in a county jail. Agencies must include proof of the officer’s hourly wage, and DOC sets the forms and rules for claims.
