AGENCY: Bureau of Prisons, Justice.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 28 CFR 0.96c and 28 CFR 505.2, this Notice 
publishes the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Cost of Incarceration Fee (COIF) 
for Federal inmates.

DATES: December 15, 2025.

ADDRESSES: Office of General Counsel, Federal Bureau of Prisons, 320 
First Street NW, Washington, DC 20534.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel J. Crooks III, Assistant 
General Counsel/Rules Administrator, Federal Bureau of Prisons, at the 
address above or at (202) 353-4885.

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 2024 data, the average annual COIF for a Federal inmate 
housed in a Bureau or non-Bureau facility in FY 2024 was $47,162 
($129.21 per day). The average annual COIF for a Federal inmate housed 
in a Residential Reentry Center for FY 2024 was $43,703 ($119.73 per 
day). (Please note: There were 366 days in FY 2024.)

Assistant Director/General Counsel, Federal Bureau of Prisons.
