Beyond the DOC criminal alien incarceration numbers and incarceration percentages, per county and per crime type, or even country of origin, criminal aliens pose high economic cost to Oregonians in 2017.
An individual prisoner incarcerated in the DOC prison system costs the state approximately ($94.55) per day.
The DOC’s incarceration cost for an average number of 972 criminal alien inmates incarcerated in the state’s prisons for 2017 was approximately ($91,902.60) per day, ($643,318.20) per week, and ($33,544,449.00) per year.
None of the preceding cost estimates for the DOC to incarcerate criminal aliens includes the dollar amount for legal services (indigent defense), language interpreters, court costs, or victim assistance.
