"In the current fiscal climate, states are increasingly forced to do more with less and make difficult decisions about competing priorities. For many systems, putting more lower-risk offenders in prison is yielding increasingly smaller improvements in public safety and may cost more to taxpayers than the value of the crime it prevents."

The financial cost to the taxpayer per inmate in 2010 was "$2.08 Billion Total State Cost of Prisons and $20,553 average cost per inmate".

The collateral costs of"Incarceration impacts the life of the inmates family in several important ways: it strains them financially, disrupts parental bonds, separates spouses, places severe stress on the remaining caregivers, leads to a loss of discipline in the household, and to feelings of shame, stigma, and anger".
