When a defendant is in the custody of a municipal jail, the

care for conditions that are not preexisting prior to arrest and

that arise due to acts or omissions of the municipality.

injuries sustained before a person is in the peaceable custody of

the municipality’s officers.

An inmate receiving medical care for a preexisting condition or

shall be liable for payment of the cost of care, including but not

limited to, medication, medical treatment, and transportation costs,

for or relating to the condition requiring treatment.
