Spending that kind of money per prisoner is absolutely staggering. It is equivalent to:
Each prisoner has their own $400 per night hotel room
Each prisoner has all their meals in the hotel restaurant with a $50 budget for each of their three meals per day
Each prisoner has $50 per day for sundries (toothpaste, uniforms etc)
Each prisoner has their own 100% dedicated guard, assuming four shifts on a 7-day fortnight rotation whose payroll costs are 50% above USA median wage
At the end of every single day, every prisoner celebrates by drinking a whole $100 bottle of champagne

- ocdtrekkie 6y ago...I wonder how many prisoners you could save money on by telling them if they stay in the local Marriott and don't leave ever, the government will pay all their bills. Heck, I'd take that deal.
- throwawaysea 6y agoIf you actually did that you would induce a much higher number of prisoners, so I’m not sure we can make that kind of comparison since the costs would quickly become unmanageable.
