OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Although the vast majority of states have seen prison health care costs climb sharply in recent years, Oklahoma is one of the few bucking that trend, according to a national study released Tuesday. The report on state spending on prison health care released by the Pew Charitable Trusts shows Oklahoma is among 10 states where per-inmate spending declined from 2007 to 2011. Oklahoma had the lowest per-inmate cost in the country in 2011 at $2,558, a decline of 17 percent from $3,071 per inmate in 2007 spending. California had the highest per-inmate health care cost in 2011 at $14,495 per inmate, a 42 percent increase from 2007. Read More. |
