Why the fuck does it cost 100k to keep a prisoner in prison for a year?

Literally they just sit in a room eating canned sardines and playing Fifa all day. How the fuck can that cost 100k per person?

A bullet will cost well under a dollar.
>>
>>539509234
You are paying for all the staff, food, medicine, electricity etc.
It's the same way they can say public schools cost X amount of dollars per student.
>>
>>539509234
It doesn't cost that, that's what private prisons charge the government (taxpayers).
>>
>>539509234
I'd be curious to see who calculated that and how.
>>
>>539509234
Pretty crazy that citizens work so fucking hard to exist on $50k/year, but convicts exist on $100k/year and theirs all comes from taxes paid for by citizens. Being in prison is like having a low-level peerage.

budget / number of prisoners.
its fascinating to do little calculations like this.
for example here in oregon, if you divide the budget of oregon health authority by the population of the state you get like 20k. every man, foid, and chillin somehow gets 20k of free healthcare. every year.

>>539509397
only 15% of our prisons are private and I think the numbers are the same
>>
>>539509234
Overpaid guards (especially with overtime) and all the gay meaningless "services."
>>
>>539509234
they embezzle it. prisoners are slave labor that never see a single cent. they skim off the top what is allocated to their meals and other essentials. the bulk majority of it goes to the admins and written off as bonuses and non existent expenses

>prisoners are slave labor
As it should be. It's meant to be a punishment, not a vacation.
And no said 'slave labor' does not off-set the costs. They can't do any real jobs because then you have more jail break risks.

>UK sickies spend ~13 times more money than I make in a year
>UK prisoners spend ~5 times more money than I make
Must be some pretty fucking fancy deens.
>>
it’s mostly guards and overtime. bring a corrections officer makes ok money. being a corrections officer working your job and a half 16 hour days makes tons of money
>>
>>539509234
Gotta pay the employees that work at the prison, as well as the electrical and water use.
100k is probably lowballed really.
>>
>>539509234
It's non-trivial to imprison crafty, ambitious, or violent people and actually make them serve out their sentence without them
>destroying the place
>preying on or murdering other inmates / guards
>offing themselves
>escaping
all while respecting their basic human rights such that rehabilitation is fulfilled

Just execute all non-whites.
