Aging inmates strain Iowa prisons and taxpayers
Iowa's aging prison population rises as costs for security and health care grow. An elderly inmate, Minnie Bader, 69, discusses prison life and the lack of age-specific facilities. Officials warn that older prisoners will dominate future counts, with 242 inmates over 50 and a system designed for younger offenders. Average daily housing costs exceed 52 dollars, intensifying debates on parole, lifers, and resource allocation.
