|
|
Increasing the
discretionary deduction for time served and making the discretionary
deduction the same for preconviction and postconviction will decrease the
number of days certain individuals are incarcerated, reducing correctional
costs. The amount of savings realized as a result of this bill will depend on
how many individuals receive a deduction for time served who otherwise would
not have and cannot be determined at this time. The current average cost of
incarcerating an individual for one day in a correctional facility is
$151.24, totaling $55,203 per year. |
