Michigan spending one-fifth of its general fund budget on
prisoners (USA Today)



It cost the state — and by extension, taxpayers — an average of
$36,106 to incarcerate a single person in Michigan in 2017.


You can buy a new Ford Explorer for that, according to Kelley
Blue Book.


At that rate, a single prisoner sentenced to 30 or more years
would cost Michigan taxpayers more than $1 million to
incarcerate.
