Understanding detention costs

How should public reports distinguish Sheriff-only costs from the full costs of detention across departments?

The jury requests full-cost methodology and a reporting clarification. Sheriff promises the clarification; its R4 answer does not address the formal methodology request. Figures remain attributed jury calculations.

Why this matters

Comparable cost boundaries are necessary before drawing conclusions about facilities.
