Annual Determinations of Average Cost of Incarceration
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
28 CFR part 505 allows for assessment and collection of a fee to cover the average cost of incarceration for Federal inmates. We calculate this fee by dividing the number representing Bureau facilities' monetary obligation (excluding activation costs) by the number of inmatedays incurred for the preceding fiscal year, and then by multiplying the quotient by 365.

that, based upon fiscal year 2008 data, the fee to cover the average
cost of incarceration for Federal inmates in Fiscal Year 2008 was
$25,895. In addition, the average annual cost to confine an inmate in a
Community Corrections Center for Fiscal Year 2008 was $23,882. Harley G. Lappin,
