I can't give you a specific cost dollar. I can tell you that the average cost of incarcerating a man in a federal penitentiary is about $108,00 or $110,000 a year. It's about twice that for a typical woman.
I can tell you that for Ashley Smith's year in custody, it cost about four times what it would cost for an average woman spending a year in a federal penitentiary. I can tell you that segregation cells, particularly segregation cells in maximum security institutions, are about the most expensive cell you can operate. The requirement for frequent rounds and checks in those segregation cells, the extent to which security staff have to pay attention, the routines in terms of requiring visits from health care staff or the warden, feeding in the cells, and so on all add expense to an otherwise already expensive system.
Minimum security custody costs less than medium. Medium security custody costs less than maximum, and segregation custody costs more than maximum, so you're looking at a huge potential for cost savings, let alone the benefits to the individuals who would no longer be housed in those forms of restricted custody.
