Annual Determination of Average Cost of Incarceration

AGENCY: Bureau of Prisons, Justice.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The fee to cover the average cost of incarceration for Federal 
inmates is $21,601.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 19, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Office of General Counsel, Federal Bureau of Prisons, 320 
First St., NW., Washington, DC 20405.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sarah Qureshi, (202) 307-2105.

SUPPLEMENTARY 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' obligation (excluding activation costs) 
by the number of inmate-days incurred for preceding fiscal year, and 
then by multiplying the quotient by 365 (or, since 2000 was a leap 
year, by 366).
    Under Sec. 505.2, the Director of the Bureau of Prisons has 
reviewed the amount of the fee and has determined that, based upon 
fiscal year 2000 data, the fee to cover the average cost of 
incarceration for Federal inmates is $21,601.

Kathleen Hawk Sawyer,
Director, Bureau of Prisons.
