It costs $3 million per detainee at Gitmo

Yep, that's the cost for each detainee at Gitmo. For a year.

Cost is high because, among other things, they have to fly in all supplies.

Effing ridiculous waste of our tax dollars.

It costs $30k a year per inmate in the federal prison system.

Just heard this on Terri Gross, Fresh Air.
