Average cost to house a prisoner?

Liberty or Death

The general figure I have always heard is somewhere in the area of $25,000 per inmate per year.

I added a link to a USDOJ report that lists it at $22650, but that was in 2001.

SGT. D

If it's more than 35 Cents, the cost of a good .45 round, Its too damn much.
