Note 3.

Per capita cost is total operating expenditures on correctional services, divided by the total population on July 1, 2011. Total operating expenditures exclude capital expenditures. Methods of calculating expenditures may differ from one sector to another. Costs may also vary according to number of offenders admitted and the length of sentences. Therefore, caution should be exercised when comparing per capita expenditures from one jurisdiction to another.
