TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Nine On Your Side has learned the state has made room for 4,000 more prisoners. That's because Arizona is ending its out-of-state contracts with medium security prisons that hold more than 4,500 violent criminals.

    WHo do they think should house these inmates? If they came from AZ in the first place why should we give this responsibliy to other states. Every part of the media can't get the story right. They also still give out to much info that crimunals can use. I get so frustated with all the bad stuff about inmates. How about all the good these people do in our city. Like cleaning up all the trash on the roads ,that law biding citizens throw out, but don't get caught? Some one has to take responsibity for them good or bad. If you don't like it, change the laws.
