|
This bill shifts
incarceration costs from the county and regional jails to the Department of
Corrections for approximately 300 prisoners.
The department will require significant General Fund appropriations. The amount needed will depend in part on
the department's decision on where the additional prisoners are ultimately
located. The department has estimated the additional cost to be around $22
million, with most of that recurring annually. |
