Economies of scale. It’s pretty basic and applies to everything we do on a small Island. All the running costs will be similar (if not higher) here, but the number of inmates to divide it by is lower. Same applies to utilities, telecoms, chip shops etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The matter I was pondering about was the total amount so how many prisoners are in for drug related offences ? There used to be a regular head count published. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 There were 90 prisoners in Jurby in June . So over £90,000 per week . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omobono Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Shssss its a secret we dont want the outside world to think the Gaol is full of drug dealers and criminals hence the weak wishy washy sentences being given out ! I bet its warmer down there than most pensioners homes , and everyone I see coming out from there has put on weight , no wonder its always pretty full 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
