The high amount given by state officials is allegedly and average of the cost for all levels of inmates. While the actual amount is obviously higher for higher level inmates, the actual cost of feeding, clothing, housing, and health care for the lowest level inmates in in the neighborhood of $5000. Far below the amount given as the average.
