7700 Prisoner Jail in OUR Back Yard!
by Steve Grasha, North B-BAR-H Ranch Resident
The County of Riverside intends to build the largest prison in county history at the entrance to Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley Covering an area the size of 100 football fields, the prison complex will house 7,200 inmates. It will cost $500 million to construct.
Although our 9 cities only have 16% of Riverside's Population, we will house 66% of the criminal population when this project is completed.
Riverside County Supervisors say that this will benefit our economy and safety. Opponents disagree and say that it will damage our $4.5 Billion Tourism industry and be a magnet for criminal gangs from all over the state and county.
Come to this important event to hear both sides of the debate.
Find out if becoming a prison town is what is best for our economy, our safety and our way of life.

Steve,
Thanks for the information about the debate at the Camelot. I will pass the information to the people that I know & see if we can get a good attendance. I plan to be there.
No doubt this is where our missing money went!
Exactly where is this prison to be located?
Will Public Enemy Number One be a inmate?
Just curious,
Ron
It's on my calendar, too. See you there! Thanks for the post!
