Prisoners at the maximum-security federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas, will be shipped to new temporary homes in the coming year. Officials with the U.S. Bureau of Prisons say the northeast Kansas facility, the nation's first federal prison, will be transformed into a medium-security institution. Similar moves will also take place in Atlanta, home of the second oldest prison in the country, to save millions of dollars and make more medium-level space. The prison bureau says they will try to temporarily house high-security inmates at prisons within 500 miles of where they were convicted. |
