The FY2027 President's Budget requests $811.1M for Contract Confinement, within Justice's Salaries and Expenses end of line account. That is up 36% on the FY2026 figure of $597.5M, which is the enacted appropriation.

| FY2027 | request | $811.1M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Justice discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Justice's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Funds the housing of federal inmates in privately operated contract facilities and community-based residential and reentry centers.
Extracted from Federal Prison System, p. 4. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
Contracts funded by this line
34 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
