Gov. Phil Murphy’s proposed $56 billion budget plan includes a 12% spending increase for the state’s nine prisons. Despite closing four state prison facilities and a 30% decline in the state’s incarcerated population since 2020, the yearly cost to keep each person incarcerated is expected to hit $74,254 in the upcoming fiscal year — four times the spending on each N.J. school student. Many N.J. prisons have been under scrutiny for its poor conditions, including no air conditioning, excessive solitary confinement, expensive communication charges, and pay raise distribution failures. New budget funds are said to support healthcare, staffing, building repairs, and a $1.3 million mail-scanning system, according to State Department of Corrections Commissioner Victoria Kuhn.
