California State Auditor. Bureau of State Audits (Sacramento, CA)

Published 1998. 24 pages.

California's Department of Corrections' calculations on the amount of incarceration costs per inmate focus primarily on those operating costs directly related to housing, food, clothing, health care, and inmate activities, and concluded for fiscal year 1996-1997 that annual incarceration costs per inmate were $21,012. This review put the cost at $24, 807 per inmate, primarily because it included capital costs, reimbursements to local governments, and the department's share of state central-service costs in the calculation.
