Inmate marginal savings is based on decreased consumables (e.g. food, clothing,
water, sewage, living supplies, etc.). This does not include a change in staffing costs or
utility expenses because these would only be realized if a unit or facility closed. 2023SB-00952-R00LCO09464-FNA.DOCX Page 2 of 2
