This is why we need a push for radical transparency when it comes to public spending. What did they spend $556,539 per inmate on, exactly? Taxpayers deserve an itemized receipt.

There's also substantial opportunity cost - that's $500K+ that could be going toward education or useful public services, that ended up in someone's pockets instead. Transparency invites accountability.
