It used to be 35 000 a year

The NYC Comptroller released an analysis statement today that keeping people in jails is very very very expensive. The cost per year is $556,539 or $1,525 per day. The number skyrockets from $35,000 while back.

Today, the federal prison rate is $39,000 per year.

The Comptroller didn't respond to why the cost is so high.

Could it be due to corruption or something else!
