Annual Determination of Average Cost of Incarceration Fee (COIF)
AGENCY: Bureau of Prisons, Justice.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to 28 CFR 0.96c and 28 CFR 505.2, this Notice
publishes the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Cost of Incarceration Fee (COIF)
for Federal inmates.
DATES: December 15, 2025.
ADDRESSES: Office of General Counsel, Federal Bureau of Prisons, 320
First Street NW, Washington, DC 20534.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel J. Crooks III, Assistant
General Counsel/Rules Administrator, Federal Bureau of Prisons, at the
address above or at (202) 353-4885.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
part 505, allows for assessment of a fee to cover the average cost of
incarceration for Federal inmates. We calculate the cost of
incarceration fee (COIF) by dividing the number representing the Bureau
of Prisons (Bureau) facilities' monetary obligation (excluding
activation costs) by the number of inmate-days incurred for the fiscal
year, and then by multiplying the quotient by the number of days in the
fiscal year.
Based on FY 2024 data, the average annual COIF for a Federal inmate
housed in a Bureau or non-Bureau facility in FY 2024 was $47,162
($129.21 per day). The average annual COIF for a Federal inmate housed
in a Residential Reentry Center for FY 2024 was $43,703 ($119.73 per
day). (Please note: There were 366 days in FY 2024.)
Elisa Mason,
Assistant Director/General Counsel, Federal Bureau of Prisons.
