Among the 45 states that provided data (representing 1.29 million of the 1.33 million total people incarcerated in all 50 state prison systems), the total cost per inmate averaged $33,274 and ranged from a low of $14,780 in Alabama to a high of $69,355 in New York.

State - - - Prison population - Average cost per inmate
North Carolina - 37,066 - - - - - $30,180

That's $2,772.83 a month . . . .
