JUNEAU, AK - The Palin administration is dropping plans for a state-run mega-prison in the Mat-Su Borough, citing inflation and a shift in corrections philosophy from the previous administration.

Instead, the state hopes to build a Mat-Su prison about half the size of the 2,250-bed facility already in the design stage, Corrections Commissioner Joe Schmidt said Friday. New prison beds will also be added to regional facilities in Bethel, Fairbanks, Anchorage and Seward, he said.
