Otter Creek Hires Monitor
As a result of several recent allegations of repeated sexual assaults by prison staff at the Otter Creek Correctional Center in Wheelwright, officials have hired a veteran Kentucky warden to monitor the prison. Gary M. Beckstrom, former warden at Little Sandy Correctional Complex in Elliot County, will serve as on-site monitor and will review operational procedures. The $42,000 contract runs from July 30th. to January 30, 2010, with Corrections Corp. of America agreeing to reimburse the state.
