I am advised that the average annual cost of an available staffed prison space is calculated for inclusion in the Annual Report of the Irish Prison Service. For 2014, the latest year for which a figure is available, the cost was €68,959 which equates to an average monthly cost of €5,747 per available staffed prison space.
