HAWAII - State prison officials hope to use federal money to build new tentlike structures to house up to 448 prison inmates on Maui, Kaua'i and the Big Island to ease overcrowding in state prisons and jails. The proposal amounts to the largest single expansion of the state prison system since Halawa Correctional Facility opened 20 years ago, although the new bed space would be in temporary structures. The housing would be 7,064-square-foot "Sprung Instant Structures" made from a membrane stretched over an aluminum skeleton. Each structure could house up to 64 inmates, according to a letter from Gov. Linda Lingle to federal authorities. Read more.
