I know that in the 2006-2007 fiscal year it cost $52.90 a day to house a prisoner in a Florida state prison.?

Question

I need to figure out how this money is being spent on each prisoner. For example, food, healthcare, rehabilitation, etc.

Answer 1

Here's a start:

Average cost of meals: $2.40 per meal (between $4.80 and $7.20 a day) Not all facilities feed three times a day, some feed only two.

Average cost of utilities: Divide the total estimated usage by the number of inmates per unit.

Average cost of health care: $0.00 (most inmates do not utilize health care at all).

Average cost of clothing: $0.00 (clothes are manufactured by inmates in prison industries and are largely self-sufficient).

Cost of cable/satellite TV service: $0.00 (paid for by inmates from funds collected from store profits and excesses).

Cost of recreational equipment: $0.00 (paid for by inmates from funds collected from store profits and excesses).

Employee payroll and general corruption: $45.70 (low figure) per inmate per day.

Answer 2

Look at how much the state allocates for prisons and then divide by the number of prisoners in the state.  Thats the easiest way to find out.

Answer 3

All you need to know is too much. Most of them deserve to be executed.
