It varies state by state and facility by facility. On the average it (allegedly) costs $33,000 per year to house inmates in the Michigan DOC. The actual costs (the reality) are much lower.

What are the benefits of a parole board?

If some convict has been rehabilitated, and is ready to leave prison and to become a productive member of society, then both the convict and society will benefit from his or her early release; it is very expensive to keep people in prison, and prisoners are generally not accomplishing much if anything with their lives while in prison. So, a well run parole board can make an accurate assessment about who should and should not be granted an early release.

Why did the prison in Moreton Bay the one that the convicts built shut down?

If the question refers to the original penal settlement in Moreton Bay, Queensland, it shut down because there was not a ready supply of fresh water in the Redcliffe area. The prison colony was not shut down entirely, but was moved to the banks of the Brisbane River, some 30 km away. If the question refers to St Helena Island in Moreton Bay, which was a prison and not a convict colony, the main factor which caused it to be shut down was cost. It was too expensive to keep ferrying supplies out to the island, then at least an hour's trip from Brisbane, so a new prison was built in Brisbane, at Boggo Road.
