Lorain County Clerk of Court Tom Orlando announced March 13 in a news release that his team has to date collected over $400,000 from the office's inmate collections program. Shortly after taking office in 2015, Orlando searched for ways to increase collections of delinquent restitution, court costs, fines and fee from convicted criminals, the release said. 'By implementing procedures established by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (ODRC), incarcerated inmates are subject to garnishments of outstanding court-ordered financial obligations through their commissary accounts,' Orlando said in the release.
