I was poking around, and in 2004 it cost the state of Massachusetts $48K to house a maximum security inmate. So using those numbers, it would cost every Canadian $1.66 per year to house the top 1000 worst offenders.

So, if there's 10,000 offenders on the list, it comes in at $16.60 per year which wouldn't even be a blip on most people's paycheques. But of course I don't know how many inmates we are talking about either.
