According to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, the average annual cost of incarceration in Federal prisons in 2010 was $28,284 per inmate. That cost is reduced at the Federal Community Corrections Centers; in 2010 the annual cost was $25,838.
The cost of incarceration climbs according to the level of security. The ?Supermax? federal prison in Colorado spends about $60,000 per year to keep inmates in permanent isolation.
The most expensive American prison is located in Cuba: Housing an inmate in Guantanamo Bay costs taxpayers approximately $900,000 per year.
