Womens' Prison Changing
KENTUCKY...
Women serving time at a western Kentucky prison are having to adapt to new rules and a new reality after being moved from another facility in the wake of a sex scandal. The women were moved to the state-run Western Kentucky Correctional Complex in Fredonia after staff members at their previous prison had been accused of having sex with inmates. Some of the guards are facing criminal charges. At the Fredonia prison, life is much different than it had been at the Otter Creek Correctional Complex 377 miles away. The inmates say the rules are stricter and they are required to work on the prison's farm, growing crops and raising cattle. Warden Bryan Henson says officials are working to keep making changes to make the women's transition go more smoothly.
