The average cost to house an inmate in Texas prisons is $47.50 per day, according to Michelle Lyons, spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Thus it would cost about $17,340 to house an inmate for a year and $693,500 for 40 years, far less than even part of the death penalty costs.
Thatâs about $184 million more a year than life sentences would have cost. Much of the cost results from litigating numerous appeals during the convictâs time on death row, where the average inmate spends 13 years prior to execution.
