I realize that this is a subject if debate. How solid are your numbers? Can I count on them being accurate?

Also, are you factoring in medical expenses (not just routine care, but say major surgery, or extened care and treatment of serious illnesses, etc.)?

I'm not sure how much capital offenses contribute to overcrowding, but it must contribute some. What about those costs?

I really don't know the answers to these questions, so you could easily be right. But a key phrase in your post is, "at present". This can and should be improved upon.
