SAN ANGELO, Texas -- Tom Green County commissioners gave extra
preparation time Saturday to a group proposing a faith-based prison in
San Angelo.
The new management team of Dallas-based Corrections Concepts asked for
at least two months to prepare more detailed financial information on
the project. The commissioners did not set a timetable.
Corrections Concepts was the only group to step forward when the county
requested proposals for the 623-inmate prison. A management contract
has not been voted on. The company's new chief executive Forrest Watson
said the group needs time to reorganize.
County commissioner Richard Easingwood told the San Angelo
Standard-Times that he wants to see hard numbers to support the
prison's business plan.
The prison would house inmates who volunteer for the program in the
final two years of their sentences.
Supporters say it could influence prisoners' lives through religion,
and create jobs.
Opponents question the economic benefit and point to safety and water
use concerns.

Sure save a lot of money.
The bible has no place fro prisons.
Death was the penalty for most things, repayment or slavery for the rest.
Back in the good old days you could be hung for stealing an apple.
