Another twist to the Montana prison story

The American Police Force will be in Montana next week to begin contsruction of a training facility and will begin looking for prisoners to fill the 464-cell prison. The executive quoted in the last post on the prison deal has been placed on administrative leave according to the Associated Press:

The economic development agency behind the private jail in Hardin has put its executive director on leave but claims the move will not interfere with a controversial contract given to a private security company.

The group also said it is still moving ahead quickly with the California company to operate the facility — even though neither group has contracts in place for prisoners, or promises it can get any.
