How to use "Imprisons" in context?
It should come as no surprise that prisons and jails are one of the most expensive ways to incarcerate people in the United States. In 2013, the cost of incarcerating an inmate was $27,169 per year. This price tag includes not only the prison's operational costs but also the costs of housing and providing medical care for an inmate. Unfortunately, this expensive system has many negative consequences.
One of the worst consequences of the high cost of prisons and jails is the racial disparities that exist in their use. The Sentencing Project has found that black Americans are jailed at a rate three times that of white Americans.
