A German state spent $6 million on a prison which only had one inmate and then closed, according to a report on Thursday.
The single inmate was accompanied by 26 members of staff for a year.
The prison in Oberhausen, North Rhine-Westphalia, was revamped into a therapy centre for mentally-ill, violent offenders in 2011.
It had room for 18 prisoners and cost just over €1 million to convert.
A further €2 million was spent on 26 staff members in one year which included six security guards.
Therapy, meals, medical care, transportation and building management cost another €175,425.
And €1 million was blown on furnishings and fittings.
But in 12 months from mid-2011 to mid-2012 it had a single inmate – a sexual offender from Bavaria.
He was joined for one week by another inmate and who was then released.
The prison has now turned into a political row with the Christian Democrats (CDU) in Oberhausen blaming the Social Democrats (SPD) for the mess.
Wilhelm Hausmann, a CDU member in the North Rhine-Westphalia state parliament, led an inquiry into the spending.
He said the costs were an “appalling waste of taxpayers’ money” and gave Oberhausen a bad reputation.
The facility closed on December 31st 2012 and was meant to be demolished, but there are now plans to turn it into a hotel for prison visitors.
