In the US it depends on the state in which the prison is located. Whether it is a state or federal prison. And, what type of job.
It depends on the state you live in and what type of jailer you are. High security people make more then local jailers. That depends on where you are in the United States. The salary ranges from about $ 22,000 to $ 48,000 per year
prison ministries are voluntary because of the constitutional issue of the separation of church and state.
About $30 an hour, unless they get raped.
It typically costs around $22,000 for a prisoner per year to serve life in prison. The majority of this money is given to the prison system by us (the taxpayers).
The 'prison system' is the government operated incarceration system. As such, it is pure overhead and costs lots of taxpayer money, it does not earn money. There may be some ways to reduce costs such as prison labor but in general there is no profit. However, some private companies operate prisons for the government, and those companies make money. But that's no different than a city hiring a company to collect garbage, while the garbage collection company might make a profit, it is still an expense the taxpayers have to fund.
The annual cost of the entire prison system in the UK is approximately £3.1 billion. This covers expenses such as running the prisons, staffing, and rehabilitation programs for inmates.
In Connecticut, the Captain's top pay is $46.00 HR
Alcatraz has been closed as a prison since the early 60s, so there are no prison guards there. Either you are thinking of San Quentin, and the average there is just under $100,000 I believe, or.... The people in uniform you are referring to on Alcatraz are Park Rangers, as Alcatraz is now a part of the US Park system (hence tourism). Hope that helps.
It depends on the state you are in. The laws of ALL states prohibit the introduction of 'contraband' into the prison system. The penalties are set by statute and will vary from state-to-state.
