Not really. In 2014 the average in Europe was 103 euro per day, making that 37,595 euro per year per inmate. The variance is quite high since Sweden for example pays on average 226,665 euro per year, while Bulgaria pays 1,095 on average per year.
Interestingly, Norway which is famous for its rehabilitation focused prison system is cheaper than the one in Sweden, with around half the cost.
