State Releases Revised RFP's For 5,000 Private Prison Beds

State officials have released a revised request for 5,000 more private prison beds. Corrections Director Charles Ryan canceled the original request for proposals last September after three inmates escaped from a private prison facility near Kingman. Ryan said the proposals needed stronger security requirements to avoid similar escapes in the future.

Ryan has said that the Kingman prison was riddled with security flaws that the department’s oversight failed to detect.

KOLD reports that the new 186 page request for proposals was released this week.
