Confining a juvenile can cost a state anywhere from $128 a day in Louisiana to $966 a day in New York, according to a new 46-state survey. That range, mapped below, reflects data gleaned from state juvenile corrections departments, agency reports or legislative documents and compiled in a Tuesday report by the Justice Policy Institute, a think tank. The daily cost to confine a young person out of his or her home is $408 per day or $148,767 a year, on average. In 33 states, that cost translates to more than $100,000 a year, on a prorated basis.
