Cost per prisoner place Cost per prisoner 1998–99 £18,745 £20,827 2002–03 28,226 29,661 Note:
The figures for 1998–99 are expressed in cash terms, while those for 2002–03 are expressed in resource terms. As such, they are not directly comparable given the change in the accounting basis, but an alternative figure for 2002–03 that is broadly comparable with the 1998–99 figures would be £26,705 for the cost per prisoner place and £28,029 for the cost per prisoner.
