Lake Erie Correctional Institution in northeastern Ohio's Ashtabula County is the only one of five state prisons up for sale that will be sold, state officials said Thursday. Corrections Corporation of America will buy it for $72.7 million, more than the $50 million needed from the privatization effort to balance the state's prison budget.
The four other prisons for sale didn't generate offers advantageous to taxpayers, state officials said.

I think that CCA was the company that people escaped from in Arizona. That is absolutely disgusting.
Oh boy :|
Privatization rings their profit margins out of their employees. They work them to exhaustion and then things go wrong. Not a good idea in a prison setting.
It really isn't. I hope that the court decided that selling the prison was a bad idea and keeps it a public prison.
