It costs $3 million per detainee at Gitmo [View all]
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.
