Just something to think about.
It costs 106,000 per year per inmate to keep some one in prison.
200,000 sentenced to life in prison
Times an conservative average of 35 years. Lifetime....
106,000 x 35 x 200,000= 742 billion!
Every year... total for all in prison.
Total in prison every year 1.4 million.
1,400,000 x 106,000= 148 billion/ yr.
Over a span of 20 years it costs tax payers over 3 trillion dollars.
Over 50 years (in todays dollars)
7.4 trillion dollars.
