prison funding
Correctional system appropriations
Prison funding is the money allocated to operate correctional facilities—covering staffing, infrastructure, inmate services, and security.
The term appears frequently in policy debates about criminal justice reform, where advocates argue over whether to increase funding for rehabilitation programs or redirect money to alternatives like community supervision.
