SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 
part 505, allows for assessment of a fee to cover the average cost of 
incarceration for Federal inmates. We calculate the cost of 
incarceration fee (COIF) by dividing the number representing the Bureau 
of Prisons (Bureau) facilities' monetary obligation (excluding 
activation costs) by the number of inmate-days incurred for the fiscal 
year, and then by multiplying the quotient by the number of days in the 
fiscal year.
    Based on FY 2019 data, the average annual COIF for a Federal inmate 
in a Federal facility in FY 2019 was $35,347 ($107.85 per day). The 
average annual COIF for a Federal inmate in a Residential Reentry 
Center for FY 2019 was $39,924 ($109.38 per day). (Please note: There 
were 365 days in FY 2019.)
    Based on FY 2020 data, the average annual COIF for a Federal inmate 
in a Federal facility in FY 2020 was $39,158 ($120.59 per day). The 
average annual COIF for a Federal inmate in a Residential Reentry 
Center for FY 2020 was $35,663 ($97.44 per day). (Please note: There 
were 365 days in FY 2020.)
