Court of Appeals of Maryland May 17, 1995, No. 61 (Brown v. County Commissioners)

lead-opinion

CHASANOW, Judge.

In the present case, we must determine whether an indigent pretrial detainee may be held personally liable for the costs of medical treatment received while incarcerated, despite the fact that he may have been covered under the Maryland Medical Assistance Program for most of the period of his detention.
