Arkansas Board of Corrections member tells legislators a 3,000-bed prison is not needed
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – An Arkansas Board of Corrections member has sent an email detailing his opposition to the proposed 3,000-bed prison for the state.
Member Lee Watson sent an email to legislators and other members of the BOC, emphasizing that he was speaking only on his own behalf.
Watson agrees that the state needs a new prison in the email, but continues that the board has never asked for or heard that a 3,000-bed prison is needed.

“If Arkansas had an additional 3,000 bed facility today, 1,400 beds would be empty,” the email states in bold letters.

Franklin County does not want the prison. A Board of Correction member says AR does not need 3,000 beds. This is getting ready for a new ICE concentration camp IMHO.
