Kentucky Moves Prisoners
KENTUCKY....
As part of an effort to reduce the financial burden, Kentucky has pulled its inmates out of the Lee Adjustment Center in Beattyville, a privately run prison owned and operated by Nashville, Tenn.-based Corrections Corp. of America. The move leaves only out-of-state inmates at the facility which houses about 560 inmates on contract for Vermont, which uses out-of-state prisons to alleviate overcrowding.
Removing the inmates from the Beattyville prison saves Kentucky $43.62 per inmate per day. Some of the inmates from Lee Adjustment Center were sent to Otter Creek in Wheelwright, while others went to Northpoint Training Center.
