Legislators Urge End To Prison Contract
Following recent sexual assault allegations, nine state legislators, including House Speaker Greg Stumbo, sent a letter Friday urging Governor Steve Beshear to end Kentucky's contract with Corrections Corp. of America at Otter Creek Correctional Center in Wheelwright. In response, Beshear spokesman Jay Blanton says the state has no place to house the 425 inmates. CCA officials say they're willing to meet with legislators to address their concerns.
