Prison budget facts

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections budget requested a $1.53 billion budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, more than $1 billion more than it received the previous year.

When the Legislature adjourned, the final appropriation to the agency was $517.2 million, a 7.13 percent increase, but nearly a billion below what the agency says it needs.

Two new medium-security prisons: $813 million

Immediate facility needs: $107.1 million

Inmate health care: $88.5 million

5 percent staff salary increase: $10.1 million

Information technology: $6.6 million
