- These facilities include debt service costs which, if included, would increase the Department's average major institution (Okeechobee CI) per diem by $0.19 and the private institutions per diem by an average of $7.08.
- Also serving as reception centers (Broward CI and Lowell CI) for female inmates.
- Per diem figures do not include indirect administrative costs of $3.75 for major institutions (operations: $2.69, health services $0.40 and education $0.66).
Overall, the Department’s total operating expenditures increased only $26 million (less than 1.7%) when compared with Fiscal Year 1998-99 totals. In recognition that inmate populations increased by almost 4% and the Department’s spending plan included a mandatory pay increase for most employees of 2.78%, this modest over-all increase demonstrates the Department’s success in gaining operational efficiencies.
When viewed on an inmate cost per day basis, the Department’s cost decreased when compared to FY 1998-99, with the exception of Education Services, which reflects an increase due to receiving additional appropriations. Part of the cost reduction in Operations is the result of closing institutional business offices and reassigning administrative support to the newly created service centers. Institutional health services cost per day increased only 1%, a remarkable achievement in light of the significant cost increases experienced in the health services industry.
The Department’s reduction in overall cost per day was also the result of being in a position to accommodate population increases within current physical capacity, and not having to open new facilities. For the private institutions category, the cost increase from FY 1998-99 (5.7%) reflects the annual cost increases included in the vendor’s contracts, as well as the Department’s decision to utilize less contracted capacity.
