[BrianH]

They had the ribbon cutting for the grand opening Tuesday, think they will start taking inmates in August, they are still doing some training now.

The ribbon cutting.


For those that dont know its a 600+ bed facility creating circa 200 higher paying jobs for the region, it will be a great boost for the economy.

Looks like you included photos of some of the villanous outlaws that might be housed there.

[DOUBLE H]

Took the words right out of my mouth! Seriously, 200 plus decent paying jobs is a plus for the local economy, considering how shaky things are in other parts of the country.

That's great news for Clayton as i know your stoked over the economic benefits of this Bryan and also it's good for New Mexico as we now have more space to lock up the criminal elemnent instead of early release of them.

Now NM lawmakers need to get busy making up new laws so they can fill that sucker up.

They need to put more money into education so they can keep her empty! hehe
Yah it is great news. Not the ideal industry to turn your economy around but its going to help ALOT! I think/hope we can get many spinoff jobs from this. They will purchase alot of goods / services locally too to help other jobs. There is one more exciting project we are working on which I hope will come through within a month and ill have another announcement.
