Not all the news is bad...
Now those shithole countries can read what we're saying about them.

Do those prices take into account state subsidies?

Seems like they must, I can't see another reason for that much variation but I guess the amount of, or lack of, competition may be at play.

When I see these charts, graphs or articles about total wealth of a country, I always wonder what it is? Add up the assessed value of all properties, total of every company's accounts receivable, and all the deposits in piggy banks? No, that can't be it.

Maybe the expensive states serve edible food and don’t have decrepit buildings, pay the guards better to get more professional people, etc.

You mean instead of contracting it out to for profit prisons?

I'm really surprised Massachusetts is so cheap. It destroys my theory about liberal places spending more on decent prisons.

This article notes that Massachusetts has a somewhat unique system where, independent from their main prisons, county sheriffs run "houses of correction" for anyone serving 2.5 years or less. It's possible those figures weren't included in their overall budget for this chart, or that it's just a cheaper way of doing things than, for example, putting small-time criminals in max security.

Some prisons/states may see more income from their slave labor than others.
