Hardin Jail Finally to Get Inmates
September 15th, 2009
Officials say a private jail in Hardin MT has signed a 10-year contract agreeing to house federal prisoners. Story from KMXC.
Greg Smith, the head of the town’s economic development authority, says the contract with American Private Police Force Organization Incorporated calls for 80 percent of the jobs at the facility to be open to local residents. The contract says more than 200 medium to minimum security inmates will be housed in the prison by mid-January. The $27 million detention center has sat empty since it was completed in 2007. It has a maximum capacity of 464 prisoners.
