RICHLAND COUNTY, Ohio — The Richland County Jail is taking a new and more efficient approach to getting x-rays for sick or injured inmates.

Inmates have been taken to MedCentral/Mansfield Hospital for X-Rays, with two sheriff’s deputies escorting them, at a cost of $51 per trip.

The commissioners Tuesday approved a one-year contract with a company that will come to the jail to do the x-rays, for a flat fee of $60.
