For what it's worth, that's way less than (less than half) the amortized yearly cost of a California prison inmate: about $70,000. https://lao.ca.gov/policyare

- tomjen3 8y agoThat is the average cost? How much would that be if we looked only at the min-sec cost? If it is anything like the institutional system, the people who need dedicated watchers 24/7 are so, so much more expensive that person like my family member, who needs only occasional help managing his normal life and doesn't need anybody to guard him.
