Calculation method
Contract value ≈ (total detained youth) × (1/4) × (90 days) × (per-day price)
I ran the arithmetic for each scenario (values in USD):
Results (rounded to nearest dollar)
Detentions/year Units (¼) Per-day Estimated contract (90 days)
Low — 5,000 1,250 units
$5/day
$562,500.00
$10/day
$1,125,000.00
$20/day
$2,250,000.00
Medium — 15,000 3,750 units
$5/day
$1,687,500.00
$10/day
$3,375,000.00
$20/day
$6,750,000.00
High — 53,031 (TJJD referrals) 13,257.75 units
$5/day
$5,965,988.00
$10/day
$11,931,975.00
$20/day
$23,863,950.00
(Notes: I used 90 days for “3 months.” The “High” case uses 53,031 × ¼ = 13,257.75 — fractional unit is an artifact of the quarter rule; you can treat it as ~13,258 units.)
