Average cost per year per prisoner is ~£40,000.
I would imagine that this pair will be more expensive as they'll need to be segregated from the rest of the population, so call it £60,000/year.
60 years worth of bird between them, so £3,600,000 to incarcerate them.
That's quite a lot.
Seems a shame that we pay all that money just to keep people in a cell, I would suggest that we would be better off as a whole society if we could try to reduce that cost, and create some value.
