BACKGROUND:

The Escambia County Jail has experienced an increase in their average daily population over the course of the last several months. This unanticipated increase in the inmate population has led to an increase in the monthly pharmaceutical expenditure. During fiscal year 2015 the average number of monthly prescriptions filled was 2,267. The Escambia County Jail is currently averaging 2,466 prescriptions per month. Due to the increase in inmate population which resulted in the rise of monthly prescriptions, the additional funding is necessary to continue to pay the vendor through the end of fiscal year 2016.
