Out of house care

This figures show the number of children in out-of-home care on September 30, the last day of the federal fiscal year, as reported by state child welfare agencies. Out-of-home care is defined as 24-hour substitute care outside of the child's home in pre-adoptive homes, relative foster homes, non-relative foster homes, group homes, institutions, and supervised independent living situations. Children who have run away or are in their own home on trial home visits are also included in the numbers of children in care. Source: Child Welfare League of America

MDOC is appropriated funds each fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) by the Mississippi Legislature. The annual appropriation includes funds for salaries, travel, contractual services, commodities, and payments to county jails, regional facilities and private prisons for housing of state inmates. The Committee for Performance, Expenditure, Evaluation, and Review (PEER) annually calculates a cost per inmate day for the three state operated prisons. The composite average daily cost per inmate for FY 2005 was $36.42, which represents a $0.31 reduction in the daily cost per inmate from the FY 2004 cost of $ 36.73.
