What changed

The Bureau of Prisons (BOP), part of the Department of Justice, has issued a notice announcing the annual determination of the average cost of incarceration fee (COIF) for fiscal year 2023. This notice, published in the Federal Register, establishes the specific dollar amount for this fee, which is utilized in various contexts, including cost recovery for housing federal prisoners in non-federal facilities and for reimbursements related to certain inmate expenses.

This is an informational notice that establishes a fee amount. Regulated entities or government agencies that interact with the BOP regarding inmate costs or reimbursements should note the updated fee for their financial calculations and reporting. No specific compliance actions are mandated by this notice itself, as it primarily serves to inform and update an existing financial mechanism. The document does not specify a compliance deadline beyond the effective date of the notice.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

Pursuant to regulations, the Bureau of Prisons publishes the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Cost of Incarceration Fee (COIF) for Federal inmates.

DATES:

December 6, 2024.

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 2023 data, the average annual COIF for a Federal inmate housed in a Bureau or non-Bureau facility in FY 2023 was $44,090 ($120.80 per day). The average annual COIF for a Federal inmate housed in a Residential Reentry Center for FY 2023 was $41,437 ($113.53 per day). (Please note: There were 365 days in FY 2023.)

James Wills,

Assistant Director/General Counsel, Federal Bureau of Prisons.
