Costs of the new prison sentence legislation in LA
Posted on 5/1/24 at 8:29 am
Posted on 5/1/24 at 8:29 am
I was researching something and stumbled across this document
This surprised me because as of November 2023, the reimbursement or daily housing rate that DOC reimbursed state prisons was only $54.20 per inmate per day. Now, the daily reimbursement rate for state inmates is $107. The annual cost of incarcerating one person is $39,274. We currently have more than 28,300 people in prisons across the state.
Reducing parole eligibility is going to cost us a lot of money. With our population shrinking, I wonder how the state plans to pay for the extra expenses of incarcerating people for longer periods. I'm curious what other people's thoughts are.

Quit feeding them 3 meals a day. Cut off the cable and TVs, no more AC.

This legislation was too reactionary to the 2018 CJ reform, which was probably too reactionary. These budget/cost issues are going to force a return to more normalcy down the road. Louisiana cannot afford the new criminal justice laws that went into effect this year.

What is the cost to the community in lost productivity and property caused by recidivists who were let out of prison?
Someone who shoplifts once isn’t necessarily worth $30k a year in housing to keep them behind bars. But someone who is stealing larger scale, as seen in places like California, is worth keeping behind bars due to losses caused by their crimes.

Somehow Jeff Landry wants MORE incarceration in this state, can’t make this shite up.

Wait, did 4chubbies just advocate speedrolling the death sentences?

It's much more costly not to lock them up.

What a deal. So it is only costing $4.48 an hour to babysit and feed them. Now look at how much money is being paid by the prisoners to use the phones.

Costs must be reduced. Prisoners at Angola used to grow their own food. Do they still do this ?
Angola is huge, there is no reason that they could not raise cattle, chickens and pigs. In addition they could grow beans .
They could use the cow hides to make their own shoes.
They could also learn how to build their own housing.

Buying a house cost me a lot of money, but I got a house!
You can't evaluate any deal just by looking at the costs; you have to consider the benefits. How much will we save by reducing crime?

Stopping welfare and the destruction of the Black family unit, stop the glorifying of thug lifestyle, and white liberals stop brainwashing Black people into thinking their problems are everyone else's fault. Those 3 things will solve the problem

Tents would reduce costs dramatically.
Let's not pretend you want to cut costs, you want to empty prisons because you definitely haven't been brainwashed through your college education.

We could just start executing them.

I do not object to the cost of incarceration. Keeping criminals away from the rest of us is a good thing.

Gotta be you could make them work enough to get that price down.

Probably should start incarcerating all of those families who set up tents during Mardi Gras. That should help
