Request
How much does it cost the Jersey taxpayer to house a prisoner at La Moye prison?
Please break this down by costs per year and week?
Response
The calculation the prison applies to obtain the cost of keeping a prisoner at HMP La Moye for one year is:
Annual Cost of Running the Prison divided by the Average Yearly Population.
For 2023 figures are:
£11,642,319 divided by 138 prisoners = £84,364.63
The Finance system does not hold costs per week so the information cannot be broken down to this level.
