Texas authorities requested compensation from the federal government in for the incarceration expenses for about 3,866,720 days of detention for illegal aliens in state and local jails and prisons. The cost of the detention amounted to $152,751,098. Under the federal State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP), Texas received $58,941,600 in compensation, leaving $93,809,498 in uncompensated costs to be borne by Texas taxpayers. The SCAAP program began in 1994 and compensates the states and local jurisdictions only for incarceration of "undocumented,"illegal, aliens who are serving time for a felony conviction or at least two misdemeanors.SCAAP data indicate that Texas's illegal alien inmate population has increased by 28 percent from the 3,866,710 inmate days in 1999 to 4,958,995 inmate days in 2002.
