Answer:

True below is a text from a quizlet. Sorry if I'm wrong.

Explanation:

On average in the US, it costs about $20,000 per year for each prisoner. This includes food, clothing, shelter, as well as the cost of prison officials and guards. However, there are also many indirect costs, including the construction of new prisons. When indirect costs are averaged in, the amount per prisoner rises to about $31,000 for those in minimum security prisons and to as high as $80,000 for maximum security prisons.
