Room & Board
Tuition

The average cost to house an inmate in one of California's prisons is approximately $75,560. That's more than the yearly cost of a premium education at Harvard, Stanford, or Yale Universities. For an elderly inmate who needs specialized care and medication, the costs spiral upwards of $100,000 or more. (Sources: San Quentin News, 2018 World Almanac & Book of Facts)
