A new women's prison nearly tripling the capacity of one the state plans to close will be built in Chillicothe, Missouri Department of Corrections officials said last week. The state said two years ago that it planned to close the 525-bed Chillicothe Correctional Center, one of two state prisons for women. City officials began an effort to keep a prison in their town and offered a 140-acre site for a new facility. The plans for a $120 million prison include beds for as many as to 1,500 inmates. The current prison employs about 220 state and contract workers, a number expected to more than double. |
