The state Department of Corrections is planning to close Greensburg and Cresson state prisons in western Pennsylvania and open a newly built facility near State College that has remained vacant since it was completed a year ago, lawmakers told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Corrections Secretary John Wetzel planned to make the announcement publicly Wednesday, and a department spokeswoman declined to comment on the matter. Lawmakers were briefed on the plans Tuesday. Sen. John Wozniak, D-Cambria, said a member of Gov. Tom Corbett's administration told him that the move is being made to control costs at older prisons. Most prisoners will move to Benner State Prison, while employees at the Greensburg and Cresson prisons will be offered jobs at other state prisons within 50 miles, he said. v "I can understand the dating of building and structures, but my concern is for people and their families," said Wozniak, whose district includes Cresson. "These are corrections officers. These people have families and high-stress jobs. I'd like to see these people taken care of." Read More. |
