Based on the extra security needed to house death row inmates, the cost to house them far exceeds that of regular inmates. For example, an average of $25,000 is required for the upkeep of prisoners in the general population, while it costs approximately $49,000 to house a death row inmate.

The average yearly cost to house a death row inmate in South Carolina is $90,000. It all depends on the specific needs of the inmate.

Not sure about Texas, but it is over two hundred forty thousand, nationally. That does include guard's pay and other prison staff and support, but still a hefty tag.

Who makes the decision about which institution in a jurisdiction an offender will go to begin his or her term of incarceration is made at the?

Prison classification is a method of assessing inmate risks that balance security requirements with program needs. Newly admitted inmates are transported from county jails to one of 11 prison receiving centers where the risk assessment process begins. There are two reception centers for females, two for male youth, and seven for adult males. Upon admission, processing and evaluation of offenders begins. They are put through a series of evaluations, including medical and mental health screenings. Prison classification specialists develop an individual profile of each inmate that includes the offender's crime, social background, education, job skills and work history, health, and criminal record, including prior prison sentences. Based on this information, the offender is assigned to the most appropriate custody classification and prison. From this initial classification, inmate behavior and continuing risk assessments by prison staff will determine the inmate's progression through the various custody levels to minimum custody and eventual release. Prison managers assign inmates to work, rehabilitative self improvement programs, and treatment. As inmates serve their sentences, the inmates who comply with prison rules, do assigned work, and participate in corrective programs, may progress toward minimum custody. Inmates who violate prison rules are punished and may be classified for a more restrictive custody classification and a more secure prison. Inmates are then required to demonstrate responsible and improved behavior over time to progress from this status to less restrictive custody classifications and prisons.

How do inmates find housing on release when they are only given 200 to transition?

I am not familiar with any state that "gives" any money to released inmates. It is up to the inmate and whatever resources he can gather quickly. In Michigan, the DOC is required to provide a bus ticket back to the jurisdiction where the inmate was convicted, but nothing else. In fact, if the inmate does not have civilian clothes to change into from the blues, the state sells the inmate a set of ill fitting Khaki's to wear out of the facility.Many inmates who have no family or friends on whom they can rely, simply leave, commit a new crime, and return. And, that responsibility falls to whom?
