The budget allocation for the 2004/2005 Financial Year stands at about R8 Billion (about 1.4 billion US Dollars). The government spends about R114 (about US $ 19) per prisoner per day, that is, R41,610 ( about US $ 7,000) per prisoner per year. Thus, for the 187,903 prisoners, the Government will spend about R7,818,643,830 per year for keeping them in prison. It means each South African pays approximately R178 (or US $ 30) a year for the upkeep of the prisoners. D.
