More bad guys for Wasco prison?
Location:
701 Scofield Ave.,
Wasco, CA 93280
More bad guys may be on the way to Wasco State Prison. Reporter Jenny Shearer writes: The expansion at Wasco State Prison is part of Assembly Bill 900, which Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed in 2007. The idea is to replace nontraditional beds in areas such as gyms and dayrooms with beds in cells. Wasco could hold 1,900 more inmates, bringing its total number to 8,000 men. More staff, perhaps 1,056 people, would be hired. That would boost employee numbers from about 1,629 to 2,685. While it would be a big boost to the economy, some people expressed concerns at a Thursday night meeting. — Christine Peterson 0 comments from 0 users
