Group in lawsuit say Franklin county prison land was bought before it was inspected
SUMMARY: A group filed a complaint against the Franklin County Prison project, claiming the land was purchased before proper inspection, resulting in unsuitable property acquisition and wasted taxpayer money. A study cited by State Senator Brian King revealed the site cannot supply adequate water for even one home, let alone a 3,000-bed prison. Despite ongoing prison overcrowding and the need for a new facility, concerns remain about the project’s viability. Lawmakers discussed the issue, highlighting overcrowding and early release of violent offenders due to lack of space. The Franklin County Prison project aims to build a 3,000-bed facility, but its future is uncertain amid these challenges.
