Wasting Money, Wasting Lives: Calculating the Hidden Costs of Incarceration in New Jersey
This report by the Drug Policy Alliance is the first-ever analysis of the hidden and comprehensive costs of incarceration in New Jersey.
In addition to the cost of prison beds (the usual measure of incarceration costs), the report examines hidden costs such as lost wages during the time people are incarcerated, lost lifetime wages that result from diminished employment opportunities, lost taxable income, and lost child support.
The full report is available as a PDF to download at no cost.
