Gov. Linda Lingle, citing a lack of support by the state Senate, has canceled plans for a new $235 million jail on Maui that was to replace the overcrowded Maui Community Correctional Center in Wailuku. The new jail was planned for 38.8 acres in Pu'unene and would have housed up to 843 inmates who were awaiting trial or in work furlough programs. Maui Community Correctional Center, the second-largest jail in the state, now houses about 350 inmates, well over its design capacity of 209 inmates, according to the governor. Lingle, in a letter Friday to state Sen. Shan Tsutsui, D-4th (Kahului), said the state was beginning an environmental assessment and moving into pre-final design work on the new jail.

Tsutsui is the vice chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, which oversees state spending. Read More. |
