Lets not forget, even while the legislature is talking about cutting prison beds, they have approved tens of MILLIONS to build new un-needed units at WSP. For Gods sake...dont build new just to close old and say "look at our shiny new buildings". There is NOTHING wrong with the old units. They are actually better built than the new units and, with a good cleaning will stand for years to come. There is NO REASON to close any more beds anywhere nor is there a need to build anything new to the tune of millions of dollars. LET YOUR REPRESENTATIVE KNOW THIS!
