I'd be happy to have free counseling available, but this is nonsense.
Depends on a number of variables, but I'm sure there are guidelines involving a guard to inmate ratio, and so you could divide guard salaries by the number of inmates, you also have meal costs that are dependent upon the number of incarcerated. Healthcare costs for the inmates are directly impacted by the population.
Just three things off the top of my head directly dependent on the number incarcerated.
