Subject
Summary:

At the 36 medium security prisons GAO studied, construction costs per bed ranged from $11,000 to $93,000, with the amount of gross square feet per inmate accounting for almost all of the difference. Operation costs also varied at the 23 prisons that provided information on such expenses, from a low of $22 to a high of $88 per inmate per day. Salaries and related expenses; inmate-to-staff ratios; and the costs of supplies, materials, and food contributed to the differences in operations expenses. Through a better understanding of these cost differences, jurisdictions concerned about the high costs of building and running prisons can consider less expensive alternatives.
