California spends about $65/citizen.[1] $90/citizen seems to compare favorably to the U.K., at least in terms of outlays. It could also simply evidence that the U.S. judiciary is underfunded.

I'm assuming the Ministry of Justice figure is exclusive of prisons. If the figure includes prisons, which cost ~$85/citizen in the U.K.[2] then court system expenditures would be greater in the U.S. (~$90) than the U.K. (~$65).
