Here's the approximate cost of incarcerating Casey Anthony for more than two years at the Orange County Jail:
$68,629.40 as of Thursday. Anthony has been held continuously since Oct. 14, 2008. The per diem rate for inmates is $92.12.Jail officials say Anthony's actual cost of incarceration is likely higher because she is in protective custody and has special travel needs. Jail records show Casey Anthony is the 40th longest serving inmate at the facility.
Prosecution costs:
$42,200.16 The prosecution would not itemize the expenses because it would reveal work product. This total does not include salaries of the prosecutors working on the Casey Anthony case. Two of those salaries exceed $100,000 per year.
Before being declared indigent, Anthony's private funding totaled:
$275,00, including $200,000 paid by ABC News
Of that, $121,954.83 went to attorneys and a media consultant
