York County, PA

The United States Justice Department filed charges against the county for allegedly inflating claims to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) for housing INS detainees. York represented that the average daily population of York County Prison was 996 inmates, rather than 1,544 as the county reported separately to the state. The United States alleges that the reduced number of inmates resulted in an inflated rate charged to the United States for detainees housed from October 1999 through March 2003. York County has agreed to pay the United States a $16 million settlement. (Apr-26-06) [US NEWSWIRE]
