Most of the money the state is paid will go to pay GEO's contract with the state.Gary R.

According to the article, the contract can be terminated if Indiana needs the space. And 200 jobs in a place like New Castle doesn't seem to shabby.Jeff Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442791690252112600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160070160712481852006-10-05T12:42:00.000-05:002006-10-05T12:42:00.000-05:00What I wonder is how this affects the statewide capacity for inmates?<BR/><BR/>The state must feel the Marion County - IDOC deal is dead as long as Dems control the CCC and Mayor's office. Marion County is housing the overflow at Jail II for now. Of course next year we'll revisit this issue I'm sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1160067543652196442006-10-05T11:59:00.000-05:002006-10-05T11:59:00.000-05:00AI the article says that Indiana will get the money...<BR/><BR/>Indiana will receive $6.2 million per year to house the inmates, and up to 200 new jobs will be created at the facility.<BR/><BR/>Is that true or do you have some more info on the contract which says GEO will get the money?<BR/><BR/>If Indiana gets the money then it seems like a good way to profit off a underutalized facility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
