Prisoner Burial Cemeteries

When many prisoners die in prison in America they are typically buried in state run cemeteries that are only for inmates who die in prison.  Apparently the cemeteries are stand alone and not on prison property, mostly.  The state (taxpayer) pays for the burials.  They are simple and average about $2,000 per burial including casket, grave, burial, funeral home, etc.  Usually living prisoners dig the graves and tend the grounds and mourn the deceased.  Often no family members attend or choose not to attend.  A warden or assistant warden typically attends each burial.  Memorialization is a simple cross or stone with the inmate #, date of death, and prisoner name.  There is no mention of what crime the inmate committed to land in jail.  If the crime was egregious enough only the inmate # will show on the memorial.
